Young & Spritely

   
Our Young & Spritely flavour profile challenges established age conventions and reflects the whisky’s character rather than its age statement. Typically, the bottlings from this flavour profile come from within the 8 to 14-year-old age bracket and exude characteristics of younger whiskies, with flavours such as sour apple sweets, rhubarb, gummi bears, tinned mandarins and flying saucer sherbet sweets.
