This is a grain whisky released in 2012. Made mainly from corn, the whisky is distilled in a Coffey still and aged in old casks, such as remade and recalcined casks originally made from American oak to deliver the sweetness and smooth flavours of Coffey still distillates.
Nose: Fine, balanced. malted barley-like, fruity (green banana, golden apple), acacia honey, exotic (pineapple), spicy (coriander, ginger, black pepper) and herbaceous (chervil, lovage). Then, gradually, medicinal notes (balsam).
