Tasting Notes
"The malt is a pale gold color, with golden fruit, floral and spice flavors to match. It's medium in body with a good malty creaminess, honey and tart accents. While it's not the original, this is a fun way to take a trip back in time. On its own merit, it's a light whisky that's a splendid way to start an evening or begin a flight."
