  • Smooth on the palate, with more oranges, marzipan, then milk chocolate and gentle spices. Nutty spice, increasingly bitter orange, and dark chocolate in the finish.

  • That cereal underbelly persists, along with toasty oak and some almond notes, adding nuance.

  • The palate is relatively drying and herbaceous, starting with cedar, oak and cigar wrapper, winding into earthy hints of sarsaparilla, chamomile tea and lemon peel.

  • Marzipan, a touch of coconut, dried cherries and cherry pit spice, medium viscosity, some bakers chocolate, firm tannins, light ethanol burn, medium length finish with toasted almond dominating.

  • The Whiskey Wash
  • By Davis Gonnella
  • This whisky is mild and the palate is a smooth transition from the nose. Honey sweet, or possibly toffee apples are the flavours I taste first and foremost, with lighter oak spice. It comes together wonderfully.
