Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of sunflower butter, honey graham cracker, dates, soy, and german chocolate cake with a slightly chewy, crisp, dry medium body and a hot, complex, very long finish with notes of chestnut honey, sticky toffee pudding, clove, leather, and grilled apples. A robust, savory Single Malt that marches to the beat of its own drum.
