Tasting Notes
"The sherry finish creates a seductive guise for this whiskey. When you nose the glass it seems almost a stranger with notes of almond paste and brown sugar, but rye and wood sap are soon to follow. The same one-two trick is performed on the palate. At first it’s silky soft with warm notes of burnt sugar, molasses, and stewed fruits; however afterwards some freshly cut two-by-fours are dropped on your tongue and remind you this distillate is from US of A."
