Category: Speyside Single Malt Scotch

Date Tasted:

Alcohol: 50%
Light gold color. Aromas of banana pudding, almond croissant, and carob with a round, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and an engaging, medium-long pipe tobacco, black tea with lemon, toasted scones, allspice, and nutmeg finish. A lighthearted yet chewy Single Malt with a very dry sensibility.
