Region: Lowlands

Type: Single Malt

Bottler: Distiller

This lightly peated single malt has a gentle smokiness, along with touches of dried flowers, honey, and brown sugar. The taste has a nice balance of peat smoke, honey, heather, and dried flowers, while the finish is long and smoky. Very nice! (December, 2024)
