Grainy character blends nicely with sweet wine influence. A big apricot note leads the way on the nose, joined by honey, graham cracker, white pepper and vanilla.
Apricot remains on the palate, along with plenty of peach, a pleasant malty character and a bit of pepper.
This whiskey finishes long, concluding with honey, graham cracker, oak and sweet apricot.
A fairly simple sweet and pleasant whiskey. Not my favorite of this series, but it's very approachable and easy to enjoy.
