Tasting Notes

"The nose is fairly straight-forward for this bottling: a tinge of smoke, sweet cereal notes, and a touch of seawater. The body is moderately full and offers a small mossy, vegetative note along with sweet vanilla and caramel. Barrel spice and orange peel come through on the bittersweet finish."
