Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

A youthful nose of salted cantaloupe, spiced red plum, pipe tobacco, cedar, and lemon thyme belie this stately whisky’s true age. On the palate, mature notes of spiced oak, honey-baked cashew, and brown butter are lifted by bold citrus and a luxuriously smooth, balanced finish. Perfection in a glass.
