Taste

On the palate, this whisky is full-bodied and creamy, with a nice balance between sweet and spicy. Flavours of caramel and honey are accompanied by fresh citrus notes and a hint of tropical fruits, such as pineapple. There is also a slight spiciness of cinnamon and nutmeg, which make for a layered flavour experience.

Finish

The finish is long and refreshing, with lingering notes of apple, light herbs and a hint of oak. The sweetness of malt lingers gently, while the fruity notes fade and leave an invigorating, elegant aftertaste.
