Our Tasting Notes

Nose: A fruity whisky offering peach, apricots and floral elements. Hints of toasted oak and smoke. Palate: There’s some citrus and plenty of oak but just the right balance. Toffee and black cherries some vanilla hints and very fresh and clean. Finish: A long finish that has silky bitter chocolate and more oak with a little bit of spice.
