Golden straw color. Aromas and flavors of toasty ham and cheese croissant, caramelized nuts and apples, and coconut fudge with a silky, bright, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a tingling, interesting, long finish that exhibits notes of spiced fruits and creme brulee with burnt sugar crust. A vivacious, well-balanced single malt with alluring smoky, spicy, and fruity nuances.
