Tasting Notes

"Aromas reminiscent of autumn are initially what is found here. Apples, brown sugar and wood spices. Upon tasting you get caramel and almonds. The texture is less chewy than their 18 year exclusive Sherry aged whisky, but it's still got some body. There is a hint of char smoke with honey and more dried fruits on the finish."
