This whisky is ideal for enjoying neat.

Color

Pale amber.

Scent

The aroma is herbal, sweet and fragrant, with a subtle, distant perfumed smoke. Then a quirky, piquant note appears, similar to lemon balm, along with hints of linseed oil and candied walnuts. When water is added, the aroma intensifies, radiating heather honey, a hint of creosote and the tiniest trace of tent linen.

Taste

The texture is effervescent, with a real bright fizz on the tongue. The taste is intensely sweet at first, then changes as notes of anise, toffee, herbal biscuit, mint, menthol, tar and coffee bean break through. The sooty/resinous flavour continues to build until it finally dissolves into a long, lingering finish of antiseptic candy, bitter oranges and oak tannins.
