19 Year Old - Age of Discovery Red Wine Cask Finish Whisky
Customer Rating
“Extremely rich dark fruit nose, raspberries and black currants, but a tad spirity. Add 5 drops of distiller water and let it sit for a few minutes and the bouquet opens up to chocolate cherry syrup and oak. Swirl it, let it sit a little longer and vanilla and berries come up. On the palate its stewed fruits, dates, raisins, plums and a touch of malt and some dryness. Finish is medium, satisfying with a slight bitterness. If I had to compare this, the closest expression would be Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban. I was fortunate to come across one of these bottles before they sold out. Wonderful. ”
