Produced from grapes influenced by noble rot, the grapes become raisined and therefore sweet. Tokaji wine typically boasts notes of balanced sweetness, apricot, peach, orange zest and chamomile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis is not the first time we’ve utilised these rare wine casks; in fact, we have been experimenting with these casks for as long as we have been releasing whiskies.
