Tasting Notes
"On the nose you'll find a dried fruit aroma (think dates, raisins, and orange peel). Smoke is medium light and the roasted malt aroma is average. The taste shows a medium body with some of those oxidized sherry flavors providing some dimension. The mix of fruit and moderate smoke is nice enough. "
