Tasting Note:

Showing a pale straw robe, this blended malt whisky displays alluring notes of crushed apple, freshly sliced bartlett pear, clover honey and lovely brushstrokes of delicate floral accents. These fruit-forward, floral highlights transition into more grounded notes of crushed gravel and porcini mushroom. The palate proves exceptionally smooth with soft wood tannin, carrying the fresh stone fruit flavors.
