Tasting Notes
"The sweetness is refreshingly dialed down, limited to red apples and bing cherry flavors with some marzipan and caramel. This is balanced out by black pepper spice, cardamom, espresso and bittersweet chocolate. The finish has a whiff of pipe tobacco. An excellent rainy night Scotch and good value for the price."
