Tasting Notes
"The aroma is fairly fruity with lots of grape and orange peel present. Baking spices, oak, and sweet vanilla cream shows up as well. As you taste the whiskey is moderately full and creamy in the mouth. The sherry and cognac cask influence is again at the forefront, but the malt isn't completely lost. The whisky has a sweet midpalate before finishing with a low spice factor and bittersweet finish making it pretty easy to drink. Would be a good selection for someone making the jump from rum or brandy into Scotch whisky. "
