Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green | |
Nose | Pronounced aromas of ripe black cherries, fruits of the forest, and some touches of mint, eucalyptus and mediterranean herbs. |
Palate | The palate is dry, full-bodied with ripe tannins and well-balanced acidity to match. Displays flavours of spiced black fruits, ripe hedgerow berries, damsons, black cherry liqueur, and chocolate. The finish is exceptionally long with persistent fruit flavours. |
