Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Intense aromas of citrus and tropical fruits that lead into secondary aromas of honey and a flinty minerality. |
Palate | The palate is beautifully textured from its time on the lees and flavours of candied citrus fruits dominate. The length is outstanding. |
