Nikka Whisky From the Barrel

Spicy apple, cinnamon, vanilla, and honey swirl with touches of ginger and cardamom. Spearmint and pear on the mid-palate. Finishes dry and slightly hot while cedar, leather and some more cinnamon sizzle on the tongue with a smokiness that sits in your chest. Has some similarity to Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 4. This price point takes the cake though.
