Tasting Notes
"The wheated mash bill shows on the nose, also offering brown sugar and just traces of its underlying robust proof. Palate moves into milk chocolate, brown sugar, walnuts and prunes, and oak. Range of chocolatey notes. Very oaky at first on a long finish, with dark chocolate, nougat, toffee. Just a bit hot but overall incredibly smooth given the proof. Add a touch of water to bring out more rich sweetness, with chocolate and brown sugar. Lovely."
