Open 2 months Nose - Rich dark fruits, berry jam, raisins, musty or mineral malt, honey roasted peanuts, cinnamon, light oak char, and light ethanol. Palate - Thin, honey malt, raisins, ripe apples, raspberries, donut pastry, and hint of tannic oak. Finish is medium-short with vanilla cake, light honey malt, light oak, and no ethanol bite. My brother brought this down during Thanksgiving. I took 150 mL home to taste and add to my Scotch infinity bottle. I also had Glenfiddich 14 with me, so it was nice to compare the two. They are radically different. The 14Y is all oak and bourbon notes, this is fruity and malty. I prefer this, but for $80 in NC I think you could do better. The nose is excellent, but the palate is thin and disappoints.
