The aroma is caramel. Full-bodied, with caramel on the initial taste, followed by a sharp pepper finish.
Hints of spiced apple with oak undertones, a thick mouthfeel, truly a pleasant serving, robust, perfect for sipping by a festive fireplace.
Exclusive from Whiskey Kitchen. It has a smoky, spicy character.
Quite harsh initially, but acceptable.
Very flavorful and very enjoyable.
