Finish: A
sassy sweet spiced finish that keeps revving on the palate, long enough for you
to realise that just like a good book this dram has a superb beginning, middle and

Summary: A
real dramming testament to the bounty of beauty of both world whiskies and blends. I urge you to try
and grab a bottle, as hard as that might be at the moment due to it not
actually being available in the UK. Fingers crossed that it will soon!
