River Rock, Single Malt Scotch Whisky (40%)

This delicious little single malt is as satisfying to drink as the bottle is to hold in the hand. It’s brightly malty on the nose, with touches of fresh orchard fruits and sweet vanilla from maturation in top-quality ex-Bourbon casks; this is a dram for all occasions. Sensibly sourced glass, responsible packaging choices and a commitment by the producer to plant a native tree in Scotland for every bottle sold add to the easy smile engendered by a glass of this.
