Tasting Notes
"Take your choice of ice cream flavors on the nose, with either black cherry vanilla or rum raisin both making their cases. The palate is rich with dark chocolate and somewhat velvety with the wine tannins, and also features prunes, blackberries and tart lingonberries. The short finish showcases more of the malt's base character, with honey, heather and hay, and peppery spice, along with astringent oak."
