Customer Reviews:
“Fruity, bright, and seriously fun. Loved the white port influence.”

Interesting Fact:
White port casks are far rarer in whisky finishing than ruby or tawny, making this release not just unique but a true flavor experiment that paid off beautifully.

Serving Suggestions:
Neat to enjoy the full fruit-forward profile. A splash of water enhances floral notes and amplifies the port sweetness. Over ice, it becomes crisp and refreshing, almost aperitif-like.
