Tasting Notes
NOSE
Toasted pink marshmallows spinning around fresh rhubarb and green apples. Toffee and treacle adds to the sweetness but an earthy note keeps this whisky well balanced and not overpoweringly sweet.
PALATE
Heather honey and digestive biscuits. Creamy milk chocolate, black cherries mix with oak and wood spice. A truly complex and interesting dram.
FINISH
Dry nutty finish with some gentle peat lingering along with some further oak notes... delicious.
