Tasting Notes
"People of a certain age will remember the taste of peach melba, and this whisky is exactly it in liquid form! This tropical, fruity whisky shows dominant flavors and aromas of tart peach, mango and pineapple, with creamy vanilla rice pudding and a hint of marzipan on the palate. The finish gets less fruit-jammy with a hint of tobacco, clove and dark chocolate. A pour or two of this could work well as an aperitif or a summer dessert whisky. "
