Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of clover honey, polished leather, clove and cedar oils, and star anise with a velvety, crisp, dry light-to-medium body and a warming, appealing, medium-length finish displaying notes of lemon and honeycomb, toasted cinnamon stick, white peach, and pine resin. Youthful and vibrant on the nose and palate with bright grassy and citrus driven aromas and a nice honeyed grain sweetness.

The French drink more Scotch whisky than anyone else and today, there are a few distilleries, primarily in Brittany, that craft a different style of whiskey. These are not peaty examples with notes of iodine as in Scotland, but rather elegant styles with notes of apricot, toffee and orange marmalade with a gentle spicy finish. The best are quite elegant and stylish and would be fine sipped in a small snifter or mixed in refined cocktails.
