It contains a blend of delicately peated malt, heavily peated malt, and whisky that has aged for about 18 years in American oak.
Tasting Notes (thewhiskyexchange.com)
Nose: Quite herbaceous. Green fruit, mint, cucumber, pine, grassy, spearmint. Just loads of green fruit in this one.
Palate: Loads of green things coming out of here! Mint, cucumber, green fruit, grapefruit and just a touch of smoke at the back. Dave Broom got yuzu…I’ve never heard of yuzu…
Finish: Light, delicate, refreshing and some subtle smoke.
Comments: This is so easy to drink. It’s fresh, easy going (almost too easy) and just divine. I wrote delicious at the top and circled it! That’s a big thumb up in my world.
