DESCRIPTION:

TASTING NOTES:

Nose: Orange sherbet, strawberries, lime, brioche, fresh rose. A very subtle touch of coastal air - not much, but just enough to notice.

Palate: A soft, elegant whisky that boasts a palate packing juicy peach, watermelon and a hint of banana. Buttery malt develops.

Finish: A slight prickle of baking spice underneath more creamy stone fruit notes.
