Conclusion: Okay, it might be suggested in the name on the label, but the honeysuckle is really there on the nose and finish, where many fruits are present on the palate. A nice and refreshing dram.
More info: distilled in 1995, matured for the full 19 years on a hogshead an filled in to 332 bottles in 2014.
