This review is for the limited edition.
Nose: Very fruity (fresh apple juice, floral, dried peaches), then malty (oak and barley), then the slightest hint of cigar smoke poking in here and there.
Taste: Malt (plain cereal), slight sweetness (vanilla), medium spice, slight metallic/iodine note at the tail end. A dash of water really opened up the sweetness. The fruity notes from the nose appear briefly, followed by characteristic bourbon (caramel and vanilla) and toffee notes.
Finish: A warm spice (black pepper), plus a long bitter/metallic note.
I really enjoyed fruitiness of the nose. The palate was missing the huge fruity notes on the nose initially, but really opened up with some water. The finish left a little to be desired as there were not many lingering flavors from the palate. The bitter/metallic note I got at the finish was off-putting.
