The palate was enhanced now with bubble gum, ginger, figs and vanilla toffees. *In partnership with the South African, Danish, and Swiss SMWS chapters, SMWS Canada has selected this single cask release to be shared exclusively between our four countries, with each nation’s flag featured on the label.
