This tea manages to capture the fruity notes from the whisky from which it was inspired.

This tea managed to capture the citrus notes of the Lowland Whiskey from which it was inspired. I personally found the lemongrass to be overpowering in the blend.

I tried this tea at a tasting event at PekoeTea. I was able to smell the Whiskey for which this tea was inspired before tasting. The blenders have really managed to capture the essence of the Highland Whiskey in a black tea. The fruity flavours really shine through and mix well with the black tea background.

Dry leaf aroma contains hints of apricot, floral, and fruity.

Brewed tea aroma has a strong rose scent with apricot fruity sweetnesss

The tea has strong flavourful notes of rose and melon. The rose flavour is very pronounced, almost as if there was actual rose in the brew. I was really impressed!

Dry leaf aroma with notes of baby powder, sticky sweet dried dates, and fresh melon.

Liquor brew is orange-pink in colour and has a fruity aroma.

Tea flavour has warm chestnut sweetness with notes of melon and vegetal aftertaste.

This is a really well-blended breakfast-type tea. It is buttery and not bitter. Can be drunk without milk.

Sweetness is a bit dilute. I will try to infuse this for a 4 minutes next time. Bold jasmine flavour which combines well with the white tea taste. The white tea has a sugary quality to the flavour. Slight creamy heaviness in the brew. Vegetal note in aftertaste.

Rinsed dry leaves twice.
