Tasting Notes
Color: Light gold. Beautiful subtle color.
Aroma: Peat smokiness much lighter than Laphroaig, but true to Laphroaig character. Nut flesh without oiliness or nut skin. Honeyed.
Tasted Neat: Very little burn. Gentle sweetness. Feather light. Hint of pepper. Heat grows as it is sipped.
Mouth Feel: Light
Comparable Spirit: If you are a fan of peated scotches, Laiphroaig particularly, this would most likely be something you would enjoy.
Possible Uses, Pairings and / or Cocktails: neat, with splash of water or a few rocks.
