    Distilled in pot stills from 100% malted barley, produced at one distillery, aged in barrels; if Scotch or Irish, must be aged for at least three years.

Tasting Notes

"Fairly aromatic nose with a wide range of notes such as fresh orange peel and orange blossoms, toasted barley, yeasty bread, and gentle oak. On the palate the whisky is medium full, but spicy on the gums with white pepper. The finish is mildly bitter and tangy, but also has a sweet note of white peaches and white chocolate. Just a really layered dram you can tuck in with and explore. No need to add any ice, but if you do use it sparingly. "
