Tasting Notes:

Medium amber colored. Honey, bourbon-oak vanilla, and some nice fruit notes on the nose. Rich malt character on the palate with medium-to-heavy body. There is a nice and bright fruity aspect to this malt. In the vein of pineapple and pear. The finish is cereally malt and bourbon oak spice. Great whisky.
