This award-winning blended spirit is aged for 12 years in seasoned, char-treated oak bourbon barrels. The nose is of barley, sugar and aniseed, with notes of cut grass and fennel, a hint of straw and a vegetal freshness. The palate is quite sweet and gentle. There are notes of winter spice and dark sugars, a touch of rum. The finish is of medium-sweetness and of medium-length.
