Tasting Notes
"The aroma and flavor profile of this whisky is decidedly brambly, with notes of dark berry (blueberry, boysenberry, blackberry, dark plum, red grapes) compote in the nose and palate. It also has a distinct maltiness with a flavor of dark chocolate covered pretzels along with allspice, anise, and nutmeg. The medium finish has a black pepper and clove spiciness, which adds to a heated finish. "
