Tasting Notes
"Batch 3 doesn’t wear underwear under its kilt; it has nothing to hide. Vanilla biscuits and milk chocolate covered raisins pronounce themselves on the nose with a splash of olive oil and faint peat. Christmas spices such as ginger and vanilla blend with crisp apple fruitiness. Malted cereal notes are always present. Any sweetness dries off in the finish into a beautiful burst of citrus zest. This whisky puts on a clinic in flavor aromatherapy."
