Tasting Notes
"The PX cask influence dominates the nose. Dried cherries, raisins and fig jam waft from the whisky the longer it sits. If only scientists could explain how to spread whisky on toast. The nose builds into tawny port territory. Peat is introduced on the palate where it balances the dried fruit masterfully paving the way to licorice and an almond nuttiness. The smoky sweet finish caps off with herbal cherry cough drops."
