Light golden, yellow in colour, the nose is light clean and fresh, with a hint sea salt, almonds, and spice notes. It’s like when you have a nice dry rub on ribs, a little sugary almost like brown sugar but then a little bit of spice. It is this lingering period during which Scotland’s cool, clean air steals through the porous oak of the casks and charms their contents, contributing further to the smooth and golden character of each distillery’s unique creation.
