Nose
Classic scotchy scotch. Granny Smith apples blend with sweet and sour notes. Robust and hearty but easy to digest.
Palate
Thin mouthfeel but this is probably due to the low strength. Predominantly fresh apples moving through to spice in the back end. It definitely feels more robust as it goes on.
Finish
Again with apples and spice that leaves a warm and slightly lingering finish.
