Tasting Notes
"The nose presents a pleasing aroma of nuts and toasted cereal along with light red berries and orange peel. It's got a soft mouthfeel and is lightly sweet. The red wine and sherry casks provide some lovely accents to the whiskey by introducing red berries and dried fruits, but those notes do not overpower the malt. Further tastes bring some dark chocolate and a faint hint of coffee. Also, the Garry oak becomes more dominant with a pleasant spice factor, but it doesn't dry the palate. This complex whiskey keeps revealing itself with each sip. Take your time with this one. "
