Comments: 

Scottish malt, blended with Japanese grain and aged in Japan. It's sweet, slightly savoury on the nose, but bursts into tart flavours of lemon and apple. The saltiness is a gentle murmur underneath these notes, and there's even a whisper of earthy autumnal forest floor.

Verdict:

I like this.
