Tasting Notes:

Light golden color, almost clear at the fringes. The nose is very tart and fruity at first and there is an underlying layer of oak spice. Very bold and spicy up front on the palate. There are sweet notes of malt and some herbal and floral notes as well. Very interesting whisky because the body is very light but the flavors are very bold. Finishes with a ton of complexity, oak spice, herbs, and sweet malt.
