Plum, cherry, burnt orange, pound cake, raspberries, leather, sweet cream, pears

Subtle aroma of smoked, pear, dried fruits, honey, wood and caramel. Mild taste of smoked, dried fruits, wood, caramel and honey. Smoky aftertaste with notes of dried fruits and wood. Good balanced and nice drinkable.

Nose: heavy sherry influence that provides sweet toffee with dried fruits like cranberries and raisins. Bold vanilla as well as roasted nuts and a pinch of saltiness. Palate: super nutty, just the absolute softest touch of smoke. The dried fruit, vanilla and butterscotch really comes through as the whisky coats the palate. Finish: nice and sweet, oily and rich with a decently long a pleasant finish.

Nose is reminiscent of dry chocolate covered cherries. Beautiful amber color. It first touches your palette thick and heavy, somewhat oily even, with light notes of winey character. The heat comes next, with notes of burning wood, drying out in the heat. The finish is where you get a brisk taste of peat, with a sort of mouth puckering tannin that leaves your mouth hot and dry.
