Tasting Notes
"The classic gentle peat smoke profile is a mark throughout the dram. Honey covered almonds, soft and chewy nougat, and oak spice are present on your palate for an extraordinary length of time. The whisky is lively and the wood tannins are woven throughout the whisky beautifully as a supporting rather than a featured role. "
