Nose - (w/o water) Strawberries, caramel, roasted nuts, berries & cream cream savers hard candies (w/ water) Much less sweet, less fruity, shortbread cookies, flamed orange zest Taste - (w/o water) Hot sweet fruity spice/heat, red berries, rich brown simple syrup, orange zest, raisins (w/ water) Still hot but not as much tingle, orange zest with pith bitterness, raisins, cocoa nib Finish - (w/o water) Orange zest, light bitter pith lingers, lingering heat/tingle, sharp berry/raisin sweet (w/ water) Lightly more bitter orange zest with pith, lingering heat, raisins, brown sugar Score - 85/100 Final Thoughts - This one seems to be greatly affected on the nose with the addition of water. It seems to have made it a bit less fruity, but it also brought out this nice shortbread cookie & orange zest vibe I quite liked. This was quite hot all around at the proof it had though. Intense red berries without and sadly this sort of suffered from this orange pith bitterness that didn't go away with water even. Nice hints of raisins throughout though as expected with a sherried Scotch, but the orange pith bitterness was a bit distracting. This was still tasty, but it was a bit hot & the bitterness that wouldn't go away was a bit distracting. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - Not another of this batch NOTE - All reviews are done without factoring in price.
