Regular price CHF 49.90 Founded in 1825 under the name 'Milton' in the Lowlands region of Scotland, the distillery was later renamed to its current name in 1837. It now belongs to the spirits group Diageo and is one of the few distilleries in this region. Due to its proximity to Scotland's capital, it is often referred to as the 'Edinburgh Malt'.
A very aromatic nose with notes of vanilla, malt, and cut flowers. The palate reveals sweet and creamy lemon cake, butterscotch, and freesia. A hint of heather in the background. The finish is soft and fresh, reminiscent of a potpourri of flowers and fruits.
