Tasting Notes
"The aroma is quite pronounced and filled with milk chocolate, cooked apples, and malted barley. The flavor profile continues along these lines with dark honey, barrel spices, and lemon zest added to the mix. The sherried casks really make an impression, and though it isn't overdone, the whisky doesn't seem as integrated as it could have been. The finish is on the malt and spiced side and is fairly oily.
