Tasting Notes
"Aged in predominantly ex-Bourbon barrels, the rich vanilla and chocolate notes really shine through here. Tastes of salty caramel, beef jerky, and gentle peat smoke are crystal clear. Such a soft and sweet dram, if you've hated peated whisky in the past, this could make you a convert."
