Bottled in a very unique and classic pot still decanter. The nose is delicate and refined and the palate is quite graceful. An easy drinking whiskey. A nice counterbalance of flavors with the different grains lending an equal amount of creaminess, spiciness and floral elements. On the finish there is a mint presence, some nice spiciness and a wonderful earthy woods characteristic reminiscent of a campfire.
