Tasting Notes:

Nose: A wonderful combination of soft bourbon notes and a light malty subplot with a light sprinkling of ginger.

Palate: Brilliant! Softly oiled, very lightly malted. The arrival of the drier oak offers a perfect bitter sweet foil.

Finish: Long, chocolate, rich and sophisticatedly spiced.
