Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Intense, spicy, fruity and oaky. Orange marmalade, dark chocolate, fruit cake, old leather, old oak and exotic spices such as cloves, black pepper, allspice and cinnamon. |
Palate | Dry and surprisingly smooth at 48%. Thick and mouth coating. Initial flavours of chocolate, spiced oranges, cloves, and malted milk biscuits. There’s a chunky, tannic quality which adds structure. |
Finish | Lots of fruit and spice. |
Colour | Deep bronze with a reddish tinge. |
