Tasting Notes
"The aroma is a little closed, but you'll find some chocolate and dried fruit notes along with some malty richness. As you taste you'll find a fairly full whisky (medium plus) with more rich malt and light spice notes accenting the whisky. More tastes leads to a light floral note on the nose. It's a rich and chewy whisky with the oak offering some dimension to the taste and dried fruits like raisins and apricots. "
