The distiller’s notes show Series VII to feature aromas of caramelized pecans, candied cherry and maple syrup. On the palate, caramel, maple and candied raisin, lead to a candied cherry, barrel char and rich cinnamon body. The finish delivers cinnamon and peppermint spice, with lingering notes of vanilla, caramel and oak.
