Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
 |
|
| Taste | Initial burst of tangy fruit sweetness of orange peel and sweet pear creating a succulent texture while the pot still spices build overtime adding a mild prickle of chilli oil. The presence of the charred oak remains constant in the background adding balance to the fruits and spices. |
| Nose | Initial top notes of cane sugar and vanilla intertwined with pepper and nutmeg spices, complimented by sweet orchard fruits and white chocolate fudge all layered over polished antique wood notes, showcasing an intriguing balance between spirit and wood thanks to the complex interaction from the many years spent in the finest oak casks. |
| Finish | Satisfyingly long finish with the fruits slowly fading, allowing the oak and spices to linger until the very end. |
