Tasting Notes

"The nose is mild with a gentle smoke, honeyed malt, light cedar notes and a gentle oak note with toasted nuts. The whisky has a medium weight and a gentle sweetness on the tongue. The barrel spices move to a moderate level here really hitting sensors in the mouth. The malty flavors carry you to the finish which has a bit of cooked pear and light honey. A nice sipper for a spring day."
