Tasting Notes
Appearance: A deep amber radiance.
Nose: An influence of green apples, toffee and fruit flavors at the start. Think of raisins and candied pecans, followed by a buttery caramel sweetness with gentle hints of vanilla.
Palate: An exceptional blend of rich fruity flavors balanced with an undertone of sweet spiciness and a bit of soft Madagascan vanilla, finished by a puff of smoke.
Finish: A smooth complex rich fruit flavor where the grassy barley hangs around, producing just the right sweetness.
