Tasting Notes

"Crème brulee and brown sugar on the nose, with vanilla pudding, rye spice, and oak. Palate enters dry, with astringent oak, but then emerges to be quite rich and sweet, with vanilla, chocolate, and touches of coffee, tobacco, and black pepper. Long lasting finish with lingering sweetness, for a luscious and smooth dram all the way through."
