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.
