Tasting Notes
"There are enough grain and oak character in this whisky to fill all five floors of the iconic building it represents. The whisky also has a red tinge to match the building’s façade. The nose is rich with hefty caramel intonations blended with peppery spices and orchard fruits. It’s compressed and deep. The palate is complex with rye spice, polished maple sweetness and a complex array of toasted and old oak accented by a subtle tannin fortified finish. 49 Wellington is move-in ready."
