Tasting Notes

"The nose has an aroma of roasted nuts and fresh cherries with a hint of leather and baking spice. More of that spice — cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, allspice, black pepper — accentuates the palate along with roasted corn flakes, roasted peanuts, vanilla and grape jelly. The whiskey doesn't have much wow factor, but neither is there anything offensively harsh about it. Though it's perhaps a bit too middling for the price. "
