Tasting Notes
"For a mature whiskey the nose is fruity and lively, with notes of ripe peaches, apricots, dates, raisins, milk chocolate, ginger, and sandalwood. The medium-to-heavy palate has flavors of iced gingerbread cookies (aromatic spice and vanilla icing sugar) along with milk chocolate, dried dates, raisins, and dried apricot. The finish has a clean fruity tartness to it balanced by pleasant spice cupboard mustiness, toasted barley cereal, and a hint of salted cocoa. "
