Tasting Notes
"The nose and palate of this whiskey is tightly concentrated, yielding notes of dried dates, figs, raisins, and fresh pears with a subtle lavender florality. Adding a drop or two of water allows those flavors and aromas to spread out of this light-bodied whiskey a bit more. The finish is a bit hot, but the hit on the back of the throat is more of a friendly jab than a sucker punch. "
