Tasting Notes

"As with most cask-strength whiskies, the aroma is somewhat closed, but you will find gentle notes of stone fruit and malt with a hint of moss. These aromas greatly intensify after a few drops of water and include red fruit and baking spices. Honey sweetness is included as well; this with the fruity notes help to tame the high proof just a bit. The whisky is slightly slick and finishes sweet and spicy."
