Little Book Chapter 8: Path Not Taken

Flowers, (light.. Fresh..sweet-ish), then moves to a TRUE apricot note.

Maple and cedar wood nose with a grape, caramel, and sweet into raw vanilla taste. Long banana and barrel finish.

Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, butterscotch. Palate: Cinnamon and clove, with caramel notes and oak tannins. Finish: Medium heat that goes on and on and on. One of the longest finishes I have had. Splash: Less spice and more caramel and oak come through with a few drops of water. Overall: 9.5/10 - This is only my second Little Book, and I passed on it earlier in the year at a better price. My wife got this bottle as a gift, and I can't find anything to criticize. At MSRP, this will be an instant buy for me in the future. I look forward to next year's chapter.
