Tasting Notes

"A rich and complex whisky that has its own character, highlighted by lovely earthy notes on the palate, as well as some tobacco and wood smoke. The sherry influence is obvious on both the nose and the palate, with dried apricots and lots of orange peel. It also has a herbal quality. The earthy notes linger on the finish, as well as some menthol. Quite delicious, but maybe somewhat of an acquired taste. "
