Tasted 4 bottles blind. The bourbon cask, sherry cask, rum cask, and 12yr single malts from grangestone. Nosing and tasting notes are from the blind tasting. On the nose you get fresh pear with a light citrus like fresh lemon rind or a just cut lemon. Honey Graham crackers follow that and after it breaths a bit the cinnamon really comes to the front. The taste brings toasted Graham crackers with marmalade and a light oakiness. Then the cinnamon builds into a fireball candy flavor that can't be ignored. Short finish but not to short. A light oakiness lingers on a spicey fireball candy. Overall this was my third favorite of the group though it was very close to taking second. I loved the way the cinnamon developed. Once that note came out however it was hard to ignore and became overpowering. If it had been a tad bit subdued this may have taken second over the 12yr.
