Cost
This family-owned distillery utilizes two types of wood for aging; in this case, the types are American refill ex bourbon barrels and European 1st fill ex-sherry casks. The price for a similar 25 year whisky is typically double or triple what this bottle costs making this an extraordinary value.

Tasting Notes
"Fairly intense notes of dried fruits, macadamia nuts, vanilla, and wood spices are found on the nose. The whisky is full, moderately sweet, and has a touch of tobacco and mint on the palate. The woody influence comes into play a bit more than younger expressions creating a drier mouthfeel on the finish. There aren't any real surprises here, just a solid (albeit not uber complex) whisky.
