Tasting Notes
"Sweet brown sugar and spicy barrel notes are found on the nose, pleasant, but not intense. Some pear is detected. Its body is of average weight and finishes on the dry side with more spicy woody notes like cinnamon and cardamom. When all is said and done, this is a whisky that doesn't have enough gravitas to stand on its own; best to enjoy in a Highball."
