Tasting notes (From the distillery):
Nose: Kamet has a fruity aroma profile with oaky spice forward notes, complemented with vanilla, caramel, and subtle raisins with nutty and sweet dark chocolate on top notes.
Palate: It exhibits a melted concoction of fresh and dried fruit notes with subtle hints of oaky vanilla, spice, and dark chocolate.
Finish: Kamet has a long, warm, complex nutty finish with a balanced dry and sherried sweetness.
