Tasting

How it drinks

Sight
Light gold with a straw tint; light-medium body, clean and bright. One of the lightest-coloured Classic Malts
Nose
Floral and fresh with cut grass, lemon zest, and honeyed sweetness. Light cereal malt and a hint of butterscotch. Quintessentially Lowland — delicate and approachable
Palate
Sweet and smooth with liquorice, floral honey, and citrus. Light-bodied with a creamy mouthfeel. Gentle barley sugar, lemon curd, and green apple. The Lowland character is immediately apparent — no peat, no aggression
Finish
Dry finish with lingering liquorice, gentle ginger spice, and a floral echo. Medium length, clean and refreshing
