On a recent business trip to India, I had taken a few days off to visit in-laws in Mumbai. I had bought this for my brother-in-law , as something unique and not available outside the US (especially South Asia). It's young, maybe 3-4 yrs old, but hides its age extremely well. At the onset, you can smell chocolate, coffee and cinnamon. almost like Mexican cocoa. The taste is a bit oaky, with a heaping dose of baked apples and cinnamon, followed by ginger and chocolate. You get more coffee...espresso specifically. It's definitely Oak driven, wood plays the integral role here. Really well made, and in my humble opinion...better than most other new upstarts (with the notable exception of Kilchoman). Also....on a side note---remy martin is buying this distillery. So...two Americans now bought (High West and now this).
