Tasting Notes
"The whisky has a vanilla custard-y, saw dust quality to the nose with even more vanilla and spice on the palate. As you continue to taste, dried herbs, dark chocolate, and fresh grass arise to the occasion. The finish is tingly on your throat and gums with barrel spices but definitely doesn't necessitate adding water to experience the long finish. "
