X-FACTOR

The judges remarked on this Whiskey's beautiful balance of decadent sweets and prominent spice.

TASTING NOTE

Bright, medium amber color. The aromatics are very intense, offering scents of baking spices, dried fruits, cereal, and butterscotch with supporting notes of marzipan, pecan, and honey. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering a custard and caramel-driven core with flavors of baked apple, oak, mocha, and candied ginger. The finish is long. Full-bodied and nicely balanced with a silky texture.
