This Whisky carries a Medium finish. Peppery. With a hint of fresh baked bread.Alittle water opens up the bouquet a bit and mellows the bite over the palate. Neat or with a few drops of water this is a very fine Scotch Whisky

I do enjoy this whisky very much these hot days. I've got quite some bottles open, but seem to favor this one every time I feel like having a dram or two.
