Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Pale straw gold; light and bright with thin legs
Nose
Fresh apple, citrus fruits, sweet pineapple and honeycomb. Jasmine and peppermint add an unusual floral-herbal dimension. Light and grain-whisky-like in character
Palate
Bright, sweet and lightly-bodied. The high enzyme unpeated barley creates characteristics more commonly found in grain whisky — lighter, sweeter, more delicate. Fresh fruit and honeycomb with some complexity and grip, though less mouthfeel than the standard core range
Finish
Short to medium finish. Light and clean with lingering citrus and honeycomb. An experimental expression that demonstrates how barley variety affects spirit character
