Description
The Mirador is a “second fill barrel malt profile” whisky. This bottling is made up of whiskies ranging from under 2 years to almost 5 years in age but because all of the aging took place in “used casks” the oak profile comes across much softer than some of the other whiskies that are only half as old.

As it breathes, the light fruit syrup impression concentrates and mingles with the soft spice notes to evoke apple pie with lemon curd, fruit salad with marshmallows and pecans and even a Rusty Nail with an accidental cucumber garnishFINISHthe finish begins where the rich sweetness gets lifted by the citrus twang, drying to notes of sandalwood and marmalade before finally offering Earl Grey tea.
