Tasting Notes
The whisky presents an enchanting profile of dark chocolate, dark bread, and dark fruit notes, complemented by subtle dark beer characteristics. The typically floral character of the malt has been substantially transformed through heavily charred additional maturation.
Dark fruit and chocolate flavours dominate the palate, with the charred wood influence adding depth and complexity to the drinking experience.
The finish lingers with residual dark chocolate and roasted notes, leaving a warming impression of the cask's intense maturation.
