Look for an orange-gold hue and bold baked-apple notes on the nose and palate, accompanied by orange peel and honey-drizzled walnuts. Adding water lightens the texture, with mild cocoa, smoke and cinnamon tingling on the exhale.

What critics and judges wrote
This is the best of the range: It carries more weight and shows greater depth than Royal Oak Distillery's other Buskers. An enticing nose of fresh conference pear, apple peels, baking spice, nutmeg, and a hint of smoked orange peel.
The Busker Single Malt is a warm, nutty whiskey, coming through with notes of almond, orange marmalade, and oak. The finish is gently sweet with hints of honey and pear. This bottling is quite enjoyable for a easy-drinking single malt …
On the nose there is a bready hint of blossom and malt. Moving on to the palate there is toasted orange and bitter peel, leading in to a long and spicy finish.
