The whisky is aged in both ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks and, although the packaging doesn't affect the taste, it comes in a very attractive box for a gift or the collector.

Tasting Notes

"The sherry wood influence is clear as day on the nose with fruitcake and maple syrup front and center. There is also a touch of sandalwood incense to be had. The taste has raisins and nuts as you might expect from the barrel aging as well. The whisky is sweet for most of the ride but finishes with wood dust and spice."
