Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
 |
|
| Nose | Dark berries, licorice |
| Palate | Silky red fruits and spice, balanced with underlying minty/eucalypt notes. The fine tannins create tightness but the fleshiness pushes that palate resulting in a long silky finish. Possibly the best Sam's to date |
| Colour | Ruby Red |
