"Amber color. Aromas of cashew butter, dried fruits, lit tobacco, pastry and a hint of medicinal herbs with a silky, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a creamy, nougat, sweet spice, charred nuts, and smoky mineral finish. Great nuances of smoke and earth." —Beverage Testing Institute "This blended Scotch, 'matured in deep-charred old oak casks' features intensely smoky aromas and flavors, although honey sweetness and mellow almond peek through. Golden in hue, with a silky feel." —Kara Newman, Wine Enthusiast Magazine Gold, 2014 International Review of Spirits
