N: Dripping sticky red fruit - the word luscious comes to mind. Caramelized brown sugar, pineapple upside down cake (but light on the pineapple), lemon and other citrus, cherry, oak, some bread, some spice. Diverse nose with a monsoon of fruit notes - feels like anything you can think of is there. The French oak seems to show up in a smooth and fluid rainy forest, wet wood, and sawdust kind of note. Really just lovely. P: Sweet, spicy, and slightly bitter. Fruit hits early with a nondescript bitter citrus. Splash of cinnamon heat, and then the red fruit and brown sugar. Dusting of chocolate follows that. Then a tannin bitterness comes in somewhere between the middle and the finish. (I guess that's late-middle?) Finish is a softer version of that earlier cinnamon spice - not very hot this time. Then a little more tannin and a lot more oak. It's not a great finish. This dram really has its moments. The nose is phenomenal for fruity whisky lovers. Even as someone whose tastes generally lean more toward smoky Islay and spicy, pungent bourbons, it's easy to appreciate the variety of fruit with a touch of oak in the nose here. But the palate is a bit of a letdown in comparison. It's nice, easy to drink, but not particularly deep. And the finish is odd, wimpy, and kind of made worse by the nice punch of cinnamon at the front end - you expect that to return, but it never really does. Still, all in all, a solid dram.
