Nose- Candied almonds, musty oak, caramel, vanilla, strawberry jam Palate- Wave of dusty oak, cherries, caramel, bitter almonds Finish- Medium, drying finish with notes of oak, caramel, and sweet fruits This surprised me in a great way. I was expecting an overpowering amount of oak, but it’s perfectly balanced. Lovely, sweet nose, with unique flavors of strawberry jam and almonds. The palate introduces a heavy amount of oak, with deep cherry notes and caramel. The finish could be longer, but this whiskey is great.
