Seven Seals Sherry Wood Finish, Single Malt Whisky, 46% 700ml

(By Langatun)

The Seven Seals Sherry Wood Finish Single Malt Whisky tastes like a stroll through a Christmas market, with lively aromas of toffee, gingerbread, roasted almonds, candy and festive spices. The different flavours meld harmoniously on the palate and develop a long, lingering note of toffee and nuts, with a hint of orange in the finish.
