Nose - Sweet, lightly fruity oak, barrel aged sweet white wine is very evident, hints of elderflower/lychee, fruity caramel.
Taste - Sweet fruit/floral, light bittersweet apple cores/stems, dark lychee syrup, white pepper tingle, light musty sweet grapes.
Finish - Lingering sweet, light musty oak, white pepper tingle, light sweet fruity sour
Score - 89/100
Final Thoughts - This is quite the interesting dram. On the nose & throughout the palate, there's this light dark fruity funk that you only get with older Scotch that's always present. The sweet musty white wine funk you get is very evident and I think that they had to water it down to 43% otherwise I think it might have been a bit overpowering. That being said, for 43% it is very full flavored and not overly sweet. Not super complex but very tasty.
