Tasting Notes:

Primary components are said to be Cragganmore and the Singleton of Glendullan.
Amber golden color with a brownish caramel-like hue.
On the nose this is rich malty barley notes with a touch of sweetness, slight alcohol spice, and a touch of caramel.
On the palate the alcohol spice hits you immediately. The palate has a rich body and malty backbone with a solid layer of sweet malt.
Slightly hot but overall a good blend.
