Tastes

Sometimes you just have co-workers who are way to generous! Got to have a dram of this at work and basically sipped on it for a few hours. I honestly couldn't believe that he was even sharing it. Took this back to my desk and decided to let it carry me the rest of the day into my upcoming vacation tomorrow. Nose: Reminds me of walking into the cellars that my family had in Kazakhstan. A damp wet smell, but filled with fruit and herbs. A definite oak taste, but quickly overpowered by cocoa combined with prunes, and raisins. Taste: The taste explodes with flavor. The cocoa and prunes continue, but slowly turns a bit more sweet. More along the lines of raisins, and liquorice. Finish: Gotta love how smooth this goes down. A nice dark fruit finish with those prunes, raisins, and liquorice. However at the end a short and pleasant pepper after tase. Overall impression: Wow, this is a very nice dram and once I get rich I would love to have this on my shelf.
