Tasting Notes
"Oak and brine start the whisky nose, with grass and lemons spreading softly through the senses. After a short period flowery orange water moves in and calms what the oak agitated, softly breezing through the senses to relax the nerves. The palate greets the tongue with sweet wizened apples, yellowed and wrinkling yet awakening the body. Tarring grass and hay works over the tongue, with brine and lemon zest being joined by small herbs and a tiny spice. Barley and potpourri melt together for a startling conclusion. The finish is medium and drys the mouth out, lemon sprayed apple slices lingering gently as the mouth opens and relaxes."
