Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Vanilla, dark chocolate, English marmalade, and sweet liquorice.

Palate: Chocolate raisins, citrus fruits, rich coffee, nutmeg and spice.

Finish: Stewed fruits and toffee.

"The color is dark amber and full of nuts on the nose and almost, maybe soy sauce. The whisky is quite chewy and, in fact, tastes of the Nestlé candy Chunky which is milk chocolate, raisins, and peanuts. The fruit that stands out is orange and the finish is very nutty and slightly bitter." - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (92 Points)

"This year’s edition rises from the glass with dried apricots and baked apples, underscored by hot chocolate, caramel, and a sweet bready aroma. The palate introduces high-cacao dark chocolate flaked with sea salt, dried leather, and honey-like sweetness. The fruit remains, though it’s more stewed than dried. Oak and leather guide the whisky into its long finish, with hints of spice and citrus fading slowly." - Shane English, Whisky Advocate (91 Points)
