Ed's review
Colour: Natural colour. Pale lemon with tears that develop slowly before sinking down the sides of my glass in parallel legs.
Nose: Bright, fresh, inviting. Sweet apples and lemon citrus. Other lemon notes, including sherbert lemons. Vanilla creme patissiere on light flaky pastry. The alcohol is well integrated, with no burn.
Palate: Medium mouthfeel. More of that creamy vanilla creme patissiere. Apple flan with icing sugar and served with cream. Light oak and some wood spice.
Finish: Medium to long finish with warming spice, like spiced apple cider in mid winter.

How much is shipping?
Shipping charges are calculated during checkout, depending on where you live and how many bottles you’re buying.
What about taxes?
All alcoholic products sold by TopWhiskies are sold subject to UK alcohol tax, which is already included in the price.
UK sales are subject to VAT (currently 20%), which is included in the price. Sales outside of the UK are not subject to this tax, and international prices do not include it.
We use a specialist US shipper who sorts out US taxes. These costs are factored into the US shipping charges. So shipping may look pricey, but remember it covers your taxes as well, so there'll be no further bills to pay.
For all other territories, including those in Europe, please note: your order could be subject to local sales taxes and duties upon arrival in the destination country. All additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient. As customs policies vary widely from country to country, TopWhiskies has no control over these charges, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. If you refuse to pay any import duties and taxes, this could result in the goods being destroyed by customs or being returned back to us - any refund offered would include a deduction of our costs.
Which couriers do you use?
In the UK we use Royal Mail, Parcelforce and APC. US orders are sent via UPS. International orders use FedEx and DHL. Orders are despatched from our UK warehouse Mondays to Fridays, excluding public holidays.
