Tasting Notes
"Gentle peat smoke, fresh stewed apples, and toasted nuts give this whisky the impression of eating a caramel apple by an autumn bonfire. More sweet green apples on the palate followed by sugar cookies and that deliciously balanced soft peat. There's a touch of dead foliage that makes you feel like you're camping in the Pacific Northwest. This is truly all of your favorite cold weather memories in one bottle; well done, Westland."
