Tasting Notes
"The nose is malty with some gentle, earthy wood smoke and an inviting minerality, reminiscent of Springbank. Soft notes of vanilla extract, but also some caramel-glazed apples. Lovely oily mouthfeel and a sweet arrival. Touches of cotton candy and burlap, as well as black pepper. The Springbank comparison holds up on the palate. One of the best young single malts in recent years."
