Tasting Notes

"The aroma is quite sweet on the Demerara sugar side. This mingles with light cereal grains and light barrel spices. The sweet palate continues on the medium-light bodied whiskey. A dash of vanilla comes out along with a touch of char smoke. There's just a bit of a peppery bite in the easy-to-drink (shoot) dram. Overall, a nice balance of sweet and spice. Finish is on the short side. Recommended served next to a glass of lager or a Half & Half."
