Taste: Subtle floral and orange blossom notes. Sweet and refined. Vanilla, honey, malt and peppermint. A little bit of spicy oakiness, but very refined.
Finish: Medium-long.
Comment: If you are after a pleasant light and refined speyside sipper that lingers nicely, this is for you. Best served with minimal dilution.
