Clear garnet color. Umami, baked aromas and flavors of baking spices and dried fruit medlee, olive and salted almonds, bananas foster and butter cream, and asphalt with a satiny, flat, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, complex, medium-long finish with elements of barrel char, dried red fruit with pronounced cherry, and chocolate and marzipan. This Whisky wakes up every flavor receptor and will be a striking pairing with a dessert cheese course.
