Tasting Notes |
Krishna Nukala | You recognize that young spirit instantly, but give some time to it, you know that this is a big whisky. Lots of leafy organics, coal tar and vanilla and several tropical fruits. Although a little harsh on palate, it is very full, having lots of body and syrupy sweet notes. Fantastic peaty long finish |
