Tasting Notes
"The nose is bright with fruit, particularly pear and orange peel, along with some floral and nutty notes. There's also some light oak and a gentle cedar smoke in the background. Moving on to the taste, again you get the brightness along with a zingy pop of barrel spices and oak and the sweetness level is light, but just enough to tame the spice factor. The malt and fruit come back on the pleasant finish which has a moderate length. Overall, a nice whisky to drink as begin your evening. "
