Tasting Notes
"A delicate, perfumed aroma of honeysuckle, orange blossom, ripe strawberries, and yeasty bread wafts from the glass. On the palate, this light to medium weight whiskey is honeyed and lingering, with candied fruits, berries, shortbread, vanilla, and roasted nuts. A tinge of earthiness keeps its fruitiness in check. Perhaps a bit on the sweet side, but would make a most pleasant aperitif or dessert whiskey, and like wine, would be fantastic with some creamy cheeses. "
