Tasting Notes
"Delicate floral notes and orange tea are some of the aromas found along with high notes of dried fruits like cherries, apples, and cranberries. Milk chocolate is another component along with vanilla bean. The flavor profile continues on this theme, but you almost don't want to drink as the aroma is so enticing. But of course you must succumb. The whisky is feminine and elegant on your palate with gentle barrel spices seeing you home. Should you find yourself in Vegas and if you have the means, we highly recommend picking one up."
