Nose- Honey and blackberry jam
Body-Juicy blackberry sweetness up front, orange marmalade with molasses become pervasive.
Finish- Orange marmalade continues but becomes a bit more tart and reminds me of blood orange. This then gives way to a buttery corn on the cob finish. Then the blood Orange continues to round out the drink. The late finish reminds me of a blood orange hazy IPA.
Note: This one was sweeter than I had anticipated. I like it a lot but I could only drink so much due to the sweetness.

Im on board with the orange marmalade but I bask in the clean sweet maltiness of this scotch
