If one seeks an ideally refined whisky drinking experience, they would seriously appreciate the exquisite flavors and aromas of this 12-year-old double aged liquid. With a heady note of juicy fruit and creamy malt, accompanied by floral undertones and hints of toasted barley, almond, and honey, it offers a palatal sensation perfectly poised with the richness of barley malt, hot buttered toast, a touch of honey, and a hint of aniseed spiciness. The finish leaves a subtle trail of smoke entwined with the delightfully thick malt and sweetness, truly captivating the senses.
