Featured in the 1001 whiskies you must try before you die book
"Spice, dry grass and wood in the nose with mint undergirding. Hard to believe this is 100 proof, it is so nonburningly whoosh in the mouth. Reminiscent of a green meadow in the sun, grass, mint, hot rock, flowers, all vibrantly warm. The finish fades in spice and wood."

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich coppery-amber, sun-warmed with a luminous golden glow.
Nose
Spice, dry grass and wood rise from the glass, with a cool mint undercurrent. The nose evokes a sunlit meadow—green grass, wildflowers and a touch of mineral warmth, all elegantly balanced.
Palate
Spice-driven rye unfurls with mint, dry grass and subtle mineral warmth, like sunlit meadow air. Surprisingly smooth for 100 proof, it carries toasted oak and delicate floral notes across the tongue. The finish returns spice and wood, fading gracefully and leaving a warm, lingering grip.
Finish
Spice and seasoned wood fade into a warm, lingering finish, with subtle rye pepper and oak murmuring softly as the palate settles.
