HOW TO SERVE
This Whisky is wonderful neat or over rocks (one large, single cube is best) and in superb cocktails like the Penicillin would be a great application for this Whisky.
X-FACTOR
A quintessential sipping Whisky delivering the whole package from smoke to malt with fruit and spice as well.
TASTING NOTE
Brilliant, medium copper/bronze color. The aromatics are very intense, giving scents of mineral, smoke, slate, and cereal with supporting notes of cigar box, chocolate, malted barley, and roasted nuts. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a honey-driven core with flavors akin to baked apple, dark chocolate, and cereal. The finish is long and lingering. Medium to full-bodied and ideally balanced with a silky texture.
