A little spice, a fairly smooth finish. Good, easy to drink

Nose: cream, vanilla and butter are immediately apparent, with stone fruit, plums and dates. Sweetness of Molasses cookies, slight ginger spice, red grapes and soft grassy notes, giving a sense of freshness. Subtle blood orange zest mix in with the sherry influence to provide a tanginess. Adding water really brings out caramel, slight papaya and milk chocolate. Palate: Much spicier than presented in the nose, immediate nuttiness, macadamian, shortbread and molasses. Pepper flakes and citrus are much more apparent as well with strong wine flavours. Stone fruit is very much still present with earthy tones. Water tames the taste much more, making it woodier and sweeter. Finish: long lasting - slightly burnt oak, dark red fruit, subtle spice notes

It's alright, very subtle and smooth, Not Amazing.

Not smoky enough for my liking, but a crispness and sweetness that makes it just okay.

This is my first tasting submission and I will reserve my opinions until I’ve tasted more to compare this to. Receiving a 2.5 simply due to the fact I wasn’t blown away with the flavor.

Nutty with hints of peat and smoke. Smooth finish.
