Tasting Notes
"This whisky tastes very much of the orchard - ripe red and golden apples, pears and wet pine cones. Cinnamon and nutmeg add to the spice mixture in the finish, as does honey, caramel and a puff of tobacco smoke. A very straightforward introductory whisky that would be a good inclusion in a Scotch flight focusing on spice."
