Customer Reviews
A lot of people among the huge amount of a variety of strong alcoholic beverages emit precisely Catto "s whiskey. Reviews of its quality are only positive.
Already in the bottle can be noted transparency andhomogeneity of this drink. And after he is in the glass, it becomes visible his pleasant golden color with a hint of light amber. The aroma of the product is quite complex and interesting. At first, there is a slight smell of smoke with a hint of smoked meat and hints of vanilla. At the same time there is a slightly perceptible smell of alcohol. Then it all dissipates and only the grapes remain. Pretty original transition. The taste is also very unusual. Together with fried bread crust and smoked meats there is peat and grain flavor. The finish lasts a long time. At first, the drink knits and warms a little, and then the pronounced taste of the wine with a hint of light smoke remains. It turns out that all three indicators (aroma, taste and aftertaste) blend harmoniously and perfectly complement each other.
