Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Campfire, roasted grains, red peppers, flamed lemon zest, and barley biscuits are powerfully aromatic in this classic whisky. The silken texture washes over the palate with intense flavors of smoke, leather, and fire roasted grains. A touch of honey rounds out the finish.
