Tasting Notes

"There is a nice fruit granola aroma happening with apricot, cherry, and coconut standing out in particular. The whisky is soft and plush on your palate to start and finishes with a dry and tangy ending. The fruit flavors found on the nose deepen to more of a dried fruit profile and barrel spices weave in the whisky quite nicely."
