| TASTING NOTE: Castle Brands is one of the few small public companies in the global beverage alcohol industry. Triple distilled and aged in ex-bourbon casks, this is pale straw in hue with a gently whiskey barrel, bourbon nose with malty spice notes. Polished and focussed on the palate with flavours of nougat, citrus and flan, this is a flavourful whiskey with plenty of pleasing tastes in a medium body. It finishes smooth with a hint of vanilla spice and bourbon. Score - 92 (Margaret Swaine, winealign.com, Oct. 14, 2014) |
