Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose Very complex on the nose with notes of boxwood, black and red fruits, peppermint and cumin.
Tasting Notes from the Producer
Flavour The palate is similarly complex to the nose. Silky smooth tannins support powerful flavours of black fruits and tobacco while a crisp minerality underlies an aniseed and garrigue finish.
