Andrew's Tasting Note

Palate: soft, creamy and malty with firm toasted oak; yeasty, vegetal with fresh cut green grasses; more lemon, lemon oil and candied lemon peel; still floral, vanilla extract and Billy Bee Honey; salted peanuts and almond brittle.
Finish: light but decadent, long, floral and toasty with more peanuts, almonds and grassy malt.
Comment: fresh and malty this young whisky is toasty, decadent and yeasty; delicate, floral and fruity in the old Lowland style.
