Tasting Notes
"The whisky begins with a jammy plum nose and hints of black currant and spice reminiscent of clove infused iodine. On the palate, savory pepper and peat. At 102.6 proof, the rich flavored ethanol sticks to your lips and burns ever so good. A crescendo-like smoky cigar box finish is firm and luxurious. "
