Nose: Light and delicate with gentle swirls of fruitiness and faint wine-like tones. A mild summer breeze of a whisky—sun-warmed sand and even a nostalgic hint of cardboard box with washing powder.

Taste: Full bodied, lively and fresh. Bright fruitiness dances across the tongue, energetic and playful.

Finish: Medium long. The freshness persists with apples and pears coated in simple syrup. Delightful and uplifting.

Comment: Fresh, playful and breezy.
