Tasting Notes

"The nose is firm with fresh oak shavings and maple sugar. The palate is rich and buttery with caramel, toffee and vanilla with that divine wood always present. A late ginger spice burst leads to a drying finish introducing a delicate wood smoke – like a wood burning kit used to draw pictures of kittens. This whisky is a beautiful example of wood management."
