HOW TO SERVE

This Whiskey is incredibly versatile as it's ready to sip with a slight dilution and it's equally good over a large cube of ice or in your best Old Fashioned.

X-FACTOR

The judges say the amazing barrel character is redolent of a Sherry cask finish with subtle sweetness and rich fruit accents. Definitive of the style.

TASTING NOTE

Brilliant, dark tawny color. The aromatics are very intense, giving aromas of dried fruits, ginger, leather, and rye with supporting notes of baked apple, apricot, pear, and allspice. The palate is in substantial agreement with the nose delivering a dried fruits-driven core with supporting flavors of rye, leather, almonds, and allspice. The finish is long and lingering. Full-bodied and ideally balanced with a voluptuous texture.
