Tasting Notes

"The aroma shows touches of char smoke and vanilla with red fruit and apple (skins and fruit) becoming more apparent with further trips to the glass. The fruit notes take a backseat (like the back back of a station wagon) on the palate with a bitter and mossy quality on the finish. Barrel spices show up, but they are neither rough nor too intense. The finish is of moderate length and there is a mild malt sweetness throughout. Overall, the wine finishing doesn't leave too great an impression on the whisky. And that's not a bad thing. Sometimes wine finishes are like putting lipstick on a pig or it takes over to the point where you should probably just open a bottle of wine. This seems integrated nicely and the price seems right too."
