Tasting Notes
"At first sniff, it’s obvious this is a whisky that reflects the theme of exploration. If you could pour it whilst sitting on the veranda overlooking an exotic bay, even better. It's full of pineapple, chocolate, figs, and oaky spice. Taste follows suit, full of dark fruit, vanilla, shortbread, cinnamon spice, rosewater, and candied ginger. There's even something smoky lingering beneath it all, like tobacco. Complex and well balanced but with a shorter finish than one might expect of a 19 year whisky. "
