Tasting Notes

"This would be a terrific intro whisky for someone who isn't used to drinking them. Very soft and approachable, with lots of apple and pear upfront. The wood adds a subtle sweet spice. Considering this whisky is named for a bloody revolt in French history, this is one of the cuddliest whiskies around. Seasoned Scotch aficionados might find it a little tame, but it could have many newbie fans saying "Oui! Oui! Oui!""
