Tasting Notes

"There's soft notes of straw, vanilla custard and honey, accompanied by oranges, lemon zest and pencil shavings. The palate has a lovely oily texture with light citrus fruit, butterscotch and subtle spicy notes of cloves and ginger. There's a touch of honey as well. A well constructed and tasty whisky at an affordable price point."
