90 The Whisky Advocate

Oak shavings, cinnamon, nutmeg, black pepper, rough-chopped cilantro, chocolate sauce, well-toasted bread crust, and baked cookies on the nose of this aged grain from Port Dundas. This is a great find, with a delicious palate of chocolate praline, black fruits, milk chocolate desserts, nippy pepper and clove, roasted nut, and toasted oak, and it takes water surprisingly well. A flavorsome grain to sip in mellow times.
