Cider Barrel Matured Virginia Highland Malt Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Notes of vanilla, apple and pear are evident on the nose, as well a slight hint of caramel.

Palate: On the palate, some creaminess and sweetness from the malt, along with caramelized wood sugars from the oak, melds with a pleasant touch of acidity from the cider barrel.

Finish: A long and smooth finish opens up larger, offering a range of sherry-influenced citrus, zest, and spice, all laced with baked apples.
