Notes

Nose The nose opens with ripe watermelon, baked plantain, green peppers and a floral freshness. Green twigs, balsa wood and pencil shavings can also be detected alongside a malty, cereal rich note

Palate Juicy watermelon, papaya, pear and kiwi burst onto the palate. Granola and flapjack provide some malty depth whilst sweet toffee and butter fudge can also be detected. The whisky is honey sweet with an oily body

Finish A light lingering tropical sweetness
