Nose: Dark red cherry, spicy wood, black pepper, leather, slight sweetness (honey maybe?), oak, a little musty.
Nose after swirl: Fruit comes out much more, dried orange peel, you can really smell the wine that was in the casks this single malt was aged in.
Palette: Beautiful dark flavor profile that balances the light flavors; simultaneous citrus, salted caramel, berry preserves, deep red wine, and earthy notes... very slight ethanol heat, medium mouthfeel.
Finish: Deeper burnt notes overtake the lighter flavors on the finish.
