Nose

Earthy and pear-forward with light fruit, caramel, and strawberry jam notes.

Palate

Rich, full-bodied with pronounced caramel and dark fruit; salivating sensation on the sides with a smooth, well-integrated finish.

Finish

Long finish with tobacco and leather notes, suggesting maturity beyond the stated age; some tannin but not excessive.

Top notch
An impressive expression demonstrating significant improvement in the distillery's craft with a complex mash bill that delivers mature character at a mid-range proof.
