Tasting Notes

Nose

Chocolatey-toasty notes vaguely reminiscent of the beer-brewing aromas of mashing in darker malts, but with a weird dry-erase marker off-note that kind of spoils the fun. I initially thought I’d gone overboard with the dish soap the last time I washed my glencairn but after I’d poured new tasters into a couple different glasses I was forced to conclude that this note belonged to the whisky…

Palate

They’re not kidding about the oak. Toasty wood, baking spice, and assertive tannins dominate the palate, punctuated by faint apple notes and a return of the dark malt flavors of the nose which settle somewhere between chocolate and coffee bitterness.

Finish

Malt, dark chocolate, and coffee linger. Oak spice tingles and then fades.
