Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

An incredibly decadent nose of roasted figs, clover honey, and creamed oats bely the Sherry cask’s influence on this hedonistic whiskey. The spirit’s body is greatly increased by the Olorosso’s mark and the longs finish has a luscious quality to it with lingering flavors of milk chocolate and ripe plums.
