This Lowlands single malt is made from the assembly of bourbon and sherry barrels. This characteristic explains its nice and fresh nose of fennel, fresh pear and vanilla. It also explains its good balance and its length, powerful and full-bodied, highlighting a mineral side and a touch of fresh anise.
