This whisky’s a lot of things: smooth, complex, fruity, sophisticated, classic. One thing it’s not? Disappointing. Maturing in traditional and American oak casks gives it notes of vanilla and a silky sweetness with marzipan and fresh hazelnuts resulting in a long, creamy and smooth finish. No wonder it’s one of the most popular malts in the world.
