Tasting Notes from the Producer | |
Aromas (without water) | The nose is fresh with aromas of a freshly cut meadow, ripe pear and a light caramel. As it develops you notice faint tones of banana, star anise and pine. |
Flavour | The palate is as the nose suggests, elegant. The aromas from the nose flow gently onto the palate with the addition of toast, fermented lemons, peanuts and barley. There is a beautiful minerality to this whiskey which adds to the delicate length of the whiskey. |
