Winey

Here we refer not merely to the presence of red wine influences, but the more subtle aromas that come from the wine world: think grape skins and stalks, and the viscous quality of drinking chocolate. Sometimes it's more the presence of unctuous nutty oils and sherry notes that bring a winey edge to a whisky.
