Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Expressive aromas of apricot, peach and citrus notes mingle with faint hints of walnuts. |
Palate | The palate is superbly fresh with similar flavours to the nose. The balance is beautiful and the finish is long with a very agreeable tartness. |
