When it was bottled, the exquisite Scotch whiskey was bottled at cask strength with 49.6% ABV and without the addition of colorants or chill filtration. The single cask bottling, limited to 225 bottles, is characterized by its multifaceted aromas of citrus fruits and roasted oak with notes of honey.
