Tasting Notes
"This whiskey's aroma begins with loads of sweet malt with a touch of nuts and honey. Moderately full on the palate, the flavor of toasted barley and sweet malt comes though again. The ale yeast shows up at the finish which is very satisfying. Gentle barrel spices are integrated nicely throughout which tames the sweetness just a bit. An ale beer as a sidecar would be a great pairing for this robust whiskey."
