Tasting Notes

Nose

A sherry bomb with whiffs of a fresh cinnamon roll. Some baking spices and cigar tobacco round out the nose.

Palate

The whisky overall is very light and watery. It tastes of cigar tobacco, red apples, and some dark sugar. Towards the finish you get notes of complex sherry and old leather. It disappears over the tongue and doesnt really offer much in the way of staying power.

Finish
