Tasting Notes:
Nose: Sweet vanilla, biscuit cake, and a hint of molasses enchant the nose and play with grain notes and hazelnuts. Juicy peaches and white chocolate remain more in the background.
Palate: On the palate, the whisky feels sweet, smooth, and creamy. In addition to lush vanilla notes, toffee, caramel, and butter cookies, there are also pineapple and apricots.
Finish: The finish reveals lasting impressions of real bourbon vanilla, bright fruits, and a touch of pepper.
