This whisky has a naïve and fresh approach, which gives way to controlled multi-layered complexity and structure of traditional characteristics. Opening with lime and flowering currant notes which cede to the challenge of candied orange peel and a dry wood finish. At first glance the picture could be conceived as chaotic as the whisky maker makes her elections, but on closer inspection there is control and order, much like the complementary whisky.
