"
The nose has a surprising vibrancy to it considering the age—probably thanks to the column still distillation—offering kiwi, cherry tart, banana, toasted almonds, white grapes, cedar, and maple. The palate brings semi-bitter dark chocolate into the mix, along with cherry cola, rancio, vanilla, and spice. The finish has chocolate-covered raisins, more vanilla, and oak." - Danny Brandon, Whisky Advocate
