Tasting Notes
"This silky smooth Scotch has a lot going on - tart berry fruits, dark chocolate, marzipan, sweet pipe tobacco, baking spices, black pepper, even a touch of root beer. The bourbon casks lends just the right amount of leather to tie everything together. It's complex, but it's also tidy and easy to get along with, finishing smooth and strong."
