Tasting Notes
"The aroma offers a mild fruity aroma as well as toasted cereal grains with a bit of floral honey. Those flavors crossover to the palate with just a bit of a spicy bite at the end. The oak flavor is gentle and provides a bit of dimension to an otherwise simple dram. Overall, it's a light, easy-drinking whisky with a pleasant fruity finish. "
