Tasting Notes
"This lightly peated single malt from Askaig shows a charming elegance from start to finish. Although a bit shy at first pour, the nose opens up with sweet malt, sea salt, and brighter peat aromas. A richer-than-expected body delivers flavors of apple and white pepper that are anchored by a smoky, resin-y finish."
