- The single malt whiskey is then vatted and blended from both barrels types prior to proofing and bottling.
Tasting notes:
This aged whiskey presents a balance between caramel, fresh cut wood, mild peanut butter and jelly notes, with a hint of light carob and anise on the back of the palate. With a mild note of char over taken by caramel, this whiskey continues to maintain a subtle complexity sure to please the Scotch drinker’s palate.
