Tasting Notes
"Rich ripe red fruits such as raspberries greet you on the nose along with chocolate and baking spices. The moderately oily whisky has gentle peat smoke throughout and displays a slight tropical edge to it with notes of coconut and banana. The finish flaunts sea salt tinged bitter dark chocolate."
