This whisky was produced to commemorate the 125th U.S. Open golf tournament at Oakmont, and is finished in apple brandy Calvados casks. The nose has touches of cinnamon apples, subtle spices, and a honey sweetness. The taste has notes of red apples, cinnamon, pear candies, and honeysuckle. The finish is long with a nice touch of apples. (June, 2025)
