Gold color. Aromas and flavors of slightly doughy pumpernickel, warm buttered rye bread, green apple, chestnut, and all spice, and red apple in caramel black pepper with a round, tangy, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, distinctive, medium-long finish with impressions of roasted almonds and spiced toffee, milk chocolate, all spice on a grilled peach, and dry hay and clover honey. This dram is packed with spices and red fruits that would please any Whisky drinker; feels very fancy and you want this in a High Ball.

Scotch Single Grain Whisky (which is rarely bottled as such) is made primarily from wheat or corn with a small percentage of barley and malted barley (the latter not being dried over peat fires). Like Single malt whiskies it can only be made at one distillery (the Single part) and somewhat confusingly, it can be made with more than one grain (the Grain part.)
