Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose
A distinctive, full bodied aroma with spicy, malty and nutty sweet sherry notes.
Palate
Big and full to start off with‚ quickly becoming light with a hint of spicy fruit. Floats across your tongue to the back of your throat where it rests as a slight sherry sweetness. Finishes with a lingering‚ smooth sweetness that flourishes into your cheeks.
Colour
Deep bronze.
