Tasting Notes
"The nose showcases the whisky's Cognac influence, with floral notes of jasmine and honey, as well as grapes. The palate is light, with milk chocolate, orange peels, butterscotch, raspberries, and spicy, tannic oak. The finish is short and somewhat bitter, with aged brandy, lemon zest, hay, white pepper, and burnt caramel. "
