Palate
The palate is full of complex flavours. Roasted nuts and malt team up to deliver a sweet yet earthy flavour. Hints of leather, rye spice, burnt cinnamon, oak, cereal grain, and light notes of butterscotch give this whiskey a unique and interesting complexity.
Finish
The finish is a nice combination of sweet and spicy flavours. Butterscotch and brown sugar butter are complemented by a hint of rye spice and light leather. There is a subtle warmth from the aged oak and a subtle heat from the cinnamon spice that linger on the finish.
