Ainsley Brae Oak Cask Matured Highland, 40%
Price: $28 ● Issue: Winter 2018 ● Reviewer: Susannah Skiver Barton
The scents of a forest floor—dried leaves, old pine needles, twigs—mingle with stewed fruit, biscuity malt, lemon oil, and rose petal soap. The palate is light and candy-sweet, like strawberry jelly beans, candied rose petals, and sugar cookies tinged with cinnamon. Youthful and very light, but pleasant. (Total Wine & More)
