Nose
Soft, elegant heather honey with a hint of spice. The Miltonduff and Glenburgie malt backbone provides a honeyed, floral character. Clean and undemanding.
Palate
Well-balanced — milk chocolate, red apple, vanilla. Smooth and slightly sweet. Over 40 component whiskies blended for consistency and accessibility. At 40%, effortlessly smooth.
Finish
Long and lingering — spice, ginger, fudge. Surprisingly sustained for a budget blend.
Expert Review
