Mahogany color. Aromas of brown butter, brown sugar, toasted coconut, and black walnut with a tannic, crisp, dry medium-full body and a hot, interesting, brisk caramelized pineapple, wood, carob, tea leaves, and cacao nib finish. A mature Whisky that’s been allowed the freedom to become one with the cask.
