Tasting Notes
"Sweet herbs and green tea are found on the nose initially which then turn into sweet cereal. The tasting profile discloses more of a sherry profile with nuts and dried fruit. The finish isn't particularly long, but there is a peppery, smoky quality at the back end wrapping up the whisky nicely. "
