Nose - Rich dark berries, orange zest, candied ginger, dried cherries/cranberries/blueberries
Taste - Dark cherries/blueberries, candied ginger "spice", dark apple juice backbone, dark chocolate, dark cherry juice
Finish - Lingering light tingle, lightly tart but still sweet cherry juice, light dark chocolate cherry cordial
Score - 86/100
Final Thoughts - So the tasting notes would lead you to believe that this is an absolutely amazing dram and although it's quite good, the flavors come in waves versus being a cohesive whole. This is very tasty overall, great nose, good on the palate, mediocre & kind of short finish. This is good, but for some reason it seems to be lacking something that binds it together.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Maybe
Would I buy a bottle? - Maybe
