Tasting Notes
"The aroma is fairly intense with honey, lemon, and a dollop of peat smoke. The whisky is plush on your palate with more honey, cereal, and wood spices. It is not especially complex, but is difficult to dislike. The smoke is not a featured player here as the golden bottle supports the golden honeyed experience."
