Distilled on Loch Lomond’s Coffey still from 100% malted barley and matured in infrared toasted new American oak casks; there are aromas of toasted cereals, honey, vanilla, oak shavings, baked pastry, and gentle spice. It has plenty of body and a creamy mouthfeel with more toasted cereal, sautéed apple, honey, butterscotch, vanilla, candied citrus, and lime. Perhaps this is Scotland’s version of an American single malt?
