Gold color. Aromas and flavors of apple and pear, lemon juice, clover honey and granola, and white peach with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium body and a tingling, engaging, medium-length finish imparting notes of wildflower honey baked apple, vanilla granola, marzipan, and butterscotch. Orchard fruits, sweet grains, and a bit of honey sweetness; the very standard of what it means to be a Speyside Whisky.
