A smooth, pleasant and lighter style single malt Speyside with tropical and fruity notes of ripe peaches pineapple and hints of lemon. Fresh, green nose with wisps of smoke, then light, smooth sweetness balancing to a dry finish.

Serving Suggestion: Best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water.

"Tropical fruits and malt on the comparatively delicate nose. Medium-bodied with fresh fruits and vanilla toffee on the palate, becoming steadily nuttier and drier in a gently oaky, mildly smoky finish."

Gavin D Smith, Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015, p.137

"Delicate and floral on the nose, a complex mix of flavours on the palate with orange, citrus fruits, honey, vanilla and cinnamon in the mix."

Dominic Roskrow, Malt Whisky Yearbook 2015, p.137
