Tasting Notes
"The nose gives plenty of sweetness—lots of cotton candy and brown sugar. A good amount of honey too. The palate has a very sweet arrival, which is a further testament to the sherry maturation. Milk chocolate, but also plenty of spices which linger for a long while. A very proper, rich blended malt whisky."
