Dram Association Tasting Notes

The nose is just nuts. Well, not just nuts, there are some other things too – but there are a lot of nuts. Hazelnut praline was the first to make an appearance. Creamy, salty, sweet and nutty. Then came the big guns – macadamias, and plenty of them. The nutty nose was accompanied by dried apricots, plums and ginger biscuits.

The palate made the cask type quite obvious. Sherry. Definitely sherry. It comes across as a wonderful mix of Honey Nut Cheerios and Golden Grahams with freshly cut grass and peppermint.
