Type: Single Malt

Bottler: CaskStrength.net

This whisky was selected by Joel Harrison and Neil Ridley of CaskStrength.net, and the nose is warm and fruity with notes of peach pie, nutmeg, allspice, and raisin. The taste is spicy and dry with cinnamon, vanilla, allspice, and peach. The finish is consistent…spicy, dry, and lingering with hints of peach pie and caramel.
