Description
“Initially sweet with notes of fruit and fresh sea air. In the background you’ll find citrus freshness and hints of cereal, and just a trace of peat smoke. On the palate it’s sweet, nutty tones come to the fore, with hints of grapes and honey in the background. Floral flavours abound, enhanced with just a hint of coffee and dark chocolate. It is a lovely rounded whisky, which coats the palate to leave
just a trace of peat.” Shane Fraser, Distiller

The nose is bright and light with young orchard fruits (nectarine and pear), honeycomb, a whiff of sea salt, and a light suggestion of peat and mesquite smoke.
The palate has a present mouthfeel with the ethereal flavors from its quarter cask (peat & light smoke) giving way with air to flavors of saltwater taffy and heather with dried apricots on the finish.
This may be just over three years old, but it drinks beyond its years. (D&M tasting notes)
