Gold color. Fruity, malty aromas and flavors of pineapple upside down cake, orange zest, honeyed malt and golden raisins, and dark chocolate with a round, crisp, dry medium body and a warming, delightful, medium-length finish displaying shades of toffee and salted nuts, banana bread, and candied citrus. A tasty blend of flaky pastries and lightly dried fruits and berries.

Blended Scotch whiskies require a mix of dozens of different malt whiskies to be combined with grain whisky in order to create the desired blend. The individual percentages of each malt whisky may be small, but each contributes its unique character to the blend. A blender will thus need to buy or produce a large amount of different malt whiskies in order to maintain the consistency of the blend. Thus, for a malt whisky distillery, the single malt may get all of the glory, but the blends ultimately pay the bills.
