Tasted in glencairn. Color: dark amber Nose: caramel, red fruits, plum, oak, slight grassiness Palette: all red fruit, cherry, vanilla, baking spices Finish: long, oily, spicy, red fruits. Cab finish really shines through A fine pour. 12 yr MGP holds up well to the cab finish. The cab influence is present, but it doesn’t lose its essence as a bourbon. It’s sweet, spicy, oily, and delicious.
