Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Black fruits, pepper and violets |
Palate | Intense flavours of dark plums, cherries, black-pepper and violets, very well balanced with a refined oak toast. Full-bodied but always elegant and very charming, it has a great minerality and complexity. Very long finish. |
