Tasting Notes

About:

Non age statement; matured in bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla casks; bottled at 50.5% ABV; $70.
Appearance:
Honey golden in the glass, like a beautiful day at the beach. Legs are thin and clingy.
Nose:
Scrumptious. Tropical fruit, stone fruit, lightly baked bread, roasted chestnuts and a touch of slightly melted butter.
Palate:
Too easy to drink. Honey, drier spice, pineapple, walnut, salted butter, baked apple and a hint of oak dance together. Finish is long and warm, like the lingering heat on a sandy strip as the sun fades.
Finish:
Comments:

This is a stunning, non-age statement Scotch single malt. The triple cask maturation of bourbon, sherry, and manzanilla does this expression extremely well, producing a textbook example of a well balanced whisky.
