The distillery visitor centre welcomes visitors and offers distillery tours. Nose: Opens fruity developing to a lightly smoked style + burnt lemon zest.
Palate: Distinctly smoked now - then sweeter – orange marmalade on burnt toast.
Finish: Even smokier now carrying an ashy quality harmoniously combined with an orange tang.
