Straw yellow color. Aromas and flavors of honey dew, asian pear, and licorice, cherry blossoms, green apple and ginger, and orange and cherry bubblegum with a round, crisp, dryish medium body and a complex, medium-length finish with notes of green apple and honey dew, honey soaked peaches, jasmine, papaya, and starfruit, and lychee. Sweet fruit and floral aromas fill the glass and transport you to a pastoral orchard.

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.
