Tasting Notes
February 16, 2026
Nose
The whisky opens with earthy, woody notes reminiscent of a sun-warmed sherry bodega, with subtle hints of mushroom and aged oak.
Palate
It delivers an umami-forward character with savory notes of sautéed broccoli rabe, garlic, and olive oil, finished with a subtle spice from chilli flakes.
Finish
The finish carries warm, complex notes of grilled marmalade and pastrami spice, a result of the marriage of two casks at 13 years of age in oak.
