Distiller Notes
The whiskey boasts a golden amber color and a subtle smoky taste reminiscent of Speyside. Lightly peated malted barley is used through a traditional process, imparting a delicate hint of smoke. The aroma features sweet green apple and pear, complemented by creamy dark honey, soft vanilla, and a touch of gentle smoke. On the palate, a smooth blend of malted cereal and stewed fruit combines with warm toffee and a hint of blackberry. The finish is full-bodied, with lingering malted cereals and soft smoke.

Tasting Panel
A luminous amber-bronze hue presages a multilayered yet approachable nose and palate. The underlying peatiness is more heather than smoke, while the olfactory notes are even more floral, enhanced by a hint of charcoal and a waft of toffee. With a satin-lined mouthfeel, the Scotch makes a sweet entrance before its dryness shows in notes of pekoe tea. Plum, root beer, and woodsiness are prominent midway. Caramel and Sherry barrel stand out on the vivacious finish.
What Whiskey will not cure, there is no cure for.
Coming in a multitude of styles depending on its origin, Whisk(e)y’s flavors range across the board from the sweet, caramel and vanilla-dominated American Bourbons to the briny, peat-heavy Islay Single Malts from Scotland. Though production methods differ widely, all Whiskeys are made by distilling beer made from some type of grain, such as barley, corn, wheat or rye. After the distillation process is complete, the new, clear spirit is transferred to wooden casks where it matures, a process that can take up to thirty years or more.
