Color: is a straw to a light Caramel color Nose: The initial aroma hits with vanilla and sherry, dark fruits with an oak note. Dates, figs and honey. Pallet: a surprisingly viscous mouth feel. It’s mouth coating with vanilla, oak, and cherry almonds. The middle brings a light white pepper spice along with brown spices. The finish is medium with a honey vanilla after taste. A splash of water opens up some more floral notes as really brings the vanilla to the front. Over all a beautiful whisky very velvety and mouth coating and mouth watering. Easy sipping neat or with a cube.
