Tasting Notes
"This whisky is very much like eating a candy apple next to a fireplace. Fruity and vanilla notes are further enriched by rock candy sweetness. Light baking spices, orange peel and toffee are also present, then a quick plumage of sweet burning wood wafts in. This would be an ideal Scotch whisky to sip with dessert or to finish a meal."
