Tasting Note:
The caramel color sets the stage for notes of slight sweetness akin to toffee, brown sugar, candied nuts and dried fruits. There is a particularly gentle quality to the cask strength, ruby port barrel whiskey reminiscent of vanilla, black tea, cinnamon and clove. It is certainly smooth and its heat is tamed by the sensual kiss of sweetness that completes the whiskey with a resounding finish.
