HOW TO SERVE
Serve neat but with a splash of water — without water the flavor and aromas are muted. Serve in bold Whiskey cocktails like a Manhattan or even a Sour.
X-FACTOR
The judges loved the mature character of the spirit with superb balance.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, medium amber color. The aromatics are very intense, presenting scents of vanilla bean and cedar with supporting notes of cigar box, caramel, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering a chocolate-driven core with flavors akin to marzipan, charred oak, and caramel. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a voluptuous texture.
