Nose- herbal tea, pear, honey, light oak,malty, baking spice, raisins Palate- caramel, cherry syrup, apple, raisin, baking spice, oak Finish- medium and drying with slight spice, vanilla and apple This Triple cask makes me think of a refreshing drink on a bright summer day. It drinks very light and fruity across the board. The bourbon comes through nicely but there is definite influence from the sherry and cognac casks. A very nice whiskey.
