Tasting Notes

"The aroma is an odd mixture of caramel apples, fish oil, and a Brillo pad (slightly metallic). The taste is initially sweet on your tongue with vanilla bean and dark honey before becoming spicy hot with cinnamon and black pepper. Dried fruits like figs and raisins are present, but perhaps not as much as you'd expect of a sherry-aged whisky. The finish ends on the bitter and tangy side. The dram isn't dreadful, it's just youthful."
