The nose starts with a light sherry and orange effervescent mixture, then lychee fruit, vanilla cupcake before spices of ginger, cinnamon and leather with no ethanol bite. The taste starts with a light to medium mouthfeel starting with that light sherry and orange effervescent mixture then lychee fruit before spices of ginger, cloves, mild chili pepper spice, and grapefruit pith with light ethanol burn that finishes short with grapefruit pith, lychee fruit and gingersnap cookies. This is an easy sipper with a mix of light sherry, citrus fruits, sweets and light spices with an enjoyable nose and taste, but the mid palate veers towards over steeped fruit water creating a very bitter finish. That bitterness of the grapefruit pith throws the balance of the dram off, overpowering the other flavors that I would have liked to taste more of and bringing this from a 4 to a 3 for me. I’m happy I was able to try this thanks to @ctbeck11, but a sample is more than enough for me.
