Powerful, rich whiskies matured in American Oak sherry butts, precisely seasoned for a very particular wood interaction that creates a spiciness and generous intensity from the oloroso influence.
TASTING NOTES
Chocolate fudge cake undercut with clove and cardamom, with notes of plum jam and redcurrant jelly, then rich cherry, toffee and oak. With final notes of raisin, honey and brown sugar.
