Tasting Notes
"Found along with the floral honeyed notes are copper tones and a small amount of smoke. The palate shows stone fruits like peaches as well as candy nougat and dark cereal notes. Spice from the barrels is there, but it is gentle, just enough to not make the whisky too soft and pillowy. Dried fruits appear on the finish which is of a decent length."
