Tasting Notes

"The aroma shows lots of orchard fruits along with their skins and as you continue to drink a bit of orange peel and chocolate are revealed. The whiskey has a light to moderate body along with a mild sweetness and the spices you feel come from both the sherry wine barrels and from the new wood. The finish is nice enough with more of the fruits appearing in the end in a semi-dried expression. A very light smoke appears on the finish which is dry and spicy. A fine whiskey from a distillery with a bright future."
