Tasting Notes
"This whisky captures everything that could go right in an oak barrel. Creamy, rich and soft with a spicy frame. Beautiful caramel apple tones unite with the antique wood. Yet the years in oak don’t overpower like the business end of a Louisville Slugger. Rather it hugs you. The entire experience from nose to finish glows like a bright star. It may even signal the Three Wise Men to show up with gifts."
