• Tasting Notes:

• Color & Consistency: Light Caramel to Amber
• Nose: Old woman's house, musty with slight hints of petrified candy and stewed fruit
  • Taste: Buttery with a fruity citrus and relatively smooth
• Finish: Cinnamon, allspice & leaves a somewhat oily finish as it lingers on the tongue
• Conclusion: It's generally a little fruity(due to the sherry casks) and light on the palate. Tastes young for a 12 year scotch. Good overall whisky as it has a well rounded flavor profile.
