Box Distillery's The Pioneer Single Malt. Image courtesy Box Distillery.This was the first single malt released by Sweden’s Box Distillery in June, 2014, and has a dry, subtle nose with hints of coriander, coconut, dried flowers, vanilla, and a touch of malt. The taste has honey, cinnamon, and black tea notes along with touches of dried flowers and a nice maltiness as the spices fade. The finish has lingering honey and black tea notes with a subtle fruitiness. Very nice! (December, 2014)
