WHISKY TASTING NOTES
Nose: Citrusy on initial nosing, but it retains the salty and vegetal character that is representative of the distillery's house style. Lemon, orange peel, freshly baked brioche, cinnamon, vanilla sugar and chewy malt also figure and there is a distant whiff of smoke.
Palate: Rich, sweet and citrusy, with some of the vegetal notes from the nose transferring on to the palate. A fair bit of oak and cinnamon emerge along with some malt and there are hints of orange peel and the brioche, but not as pronounced as on the nose.
Finish: Relatively long on the finish, with a lingering sweetness from the orange peel as well as some spiciness from the cinnamon.

About our Bottles
For us, one of the best aspects of a good single malt whisky is its ability to bring people together. So when we created our bottles we wanted to design something that felt like a decanter - meant to be passed around a group of friends, new and old, as they enjoy sharing a dram together.
Our bottles have a good weight to them, making them feel substantial and giving them the presence a good whisky deserves. We've offset the label, so that the whisky is centre stage; it shows the natural colour of the liquid clearly and proudly.
The label clearly and transparently shows you all the key information, including: the nature of the liquid (for example, single malt scotch) where it was distilled; how old it is; and how strong it is. All our liquids are natural colour and non chill filtered.
Our bottles come in two sizes: 700ml, which is our standard for our main releases; and for some of our expressions, 100ml minis.
