The nose starts with strawberry and cherry cream cheese turnovers then some light caramel apple followed by candied ginger, cloves and light oak with medium ethanol burn. The taste is a thin mouthfeel starting with strawberry and cherry cream cheese turnovers then some light caramel apple followed by cracked black pepper, candied ginger, cloves and light oak with medium ethanol burn that finishes medium length with baked strawberry pie, caramel apple, a mild spice, cracked black pepper, barrel spices and light oak. This has a pleasant and balanced mix of dark berries, citrus, fresh baked pastries, and some light baking spices but it’s still just slightly above average due to the thin mouthfeel and lightness of those flavors that would benefit from a higher ABV to create a richer mouthfeel and increase the intensity of those flavors. For a light easy sipping summer Scotch while hanging out in a mankini, sunbathing in a kiddy pool, this might do the trick. A huge thanks to @ctbeck11 for the sample and a possible Scotch to allow my wife to do a few more eyerolls at me if I buy a kiddy pool to test this one out.
