Tasting Notes
"Intense aromas of menthol and wood spices hit the nostrils like smelling salts, but if you aren't dissuaded by this, you'll be rewarded with a fairly rich and complex whisky. Fruit is present, but you'll have to hunt for it. Dried herbs and floral heather notes mark the whisky with wood spices and cinnamon sticks on the finish."
