Tasting Notes:

Bradan Orach means golden salmon, which the Spey River is famous for.
Light golden color.
Very cereally and grainy nose with a touch of honey-like barley sweetness and some mellow oak.
There is a slight bit of alcohol heat on the palate but the flavor profile is rich, grainy barley malt with a touch of honey-like barley sweetness and a subtle note of oak. The body is relatively light.
Overall a great value.
