Tasting Notes
"This malty, spicy dram from High Coast in Sweden is a delight. Cereal character shines through on the palate with notes of heather, treacle, and chestnut, all leading to a pleasantly savory finish. It's a tight whisky, and a few drops of water help open up its sweeter floral notes. Fans of coastal single malts will find a lot to like in this bottle."
