Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose The nose is floral and elegant, violets blend with red and black fruits, with earthy and tobacco notes.
Palate The palate is beautifully balanced, fine grainy tannins and a natural acidity support the incredible fruit character. The finish is long and intense.
