Review

We were expecting a one dimensional sweet palette and finish given the nose, but its surprisingly peppery and savoury in nature which gives it a second dimension of flavour and versitility. We found the ligter style invoking hints of spring sunshine that helped warm the soul. Definitely a dram for those that like savoury and peppery flavours as the fruit is only really evident on the nose. This is a standout from the whiskies we have been tasting of late and can thoroughly recommend it for thos looking for something a bit different.

This is an exceptional value whiskey - often found for under $100!

Food Pairing

This whiskey pairs beautifully with:

Occasion

Given the lighter style, this would work extremely well during the shoulder seasons. Its lively and youthful and would make a statement on your next picnic our outdoor outing.

Right for you?

If you are looking for an affordable lighter styled whiskey that is lively, but rewarding with remarkable depth and complexity then this is a great one to try next.
