Tasting Notes
"Has a lot of familiar characteristics of a sherried whisky on the nose: plums, red fruit, chocolate-covered cherries, and raisins. It's rich on the palate, with raisin, chocolate malt, fruit cake, oaked spice, mango, and even a hint of coconut. Vanilla and orange bitters arrive during the finish. A little water brings out additional citrus. The flavors are all good, but they never quite coalesce as a whole. "
