Batch 069 61.2% abv; 122.4 proof Open 3 weeks Nose - This just screams holiday dessert combined with a Manhattan: figs, plums, raisins, orange peel, cinnamon, blueberries, caramel, maple, sweet vermouth, and medium ethanol. Palate - Viscous and delicious: berry compote, raisins, cocoa, molasses, caramel, red wine, oak tannins, and lighter than expected ethanol. Finish is long with plum and berry flavored syrup coating the mouth, oranges, cinnamon, allspice, clove, black pepper, and medium ethanol kick that hits quickly but fades nicely. The finish is phenomenal. This is simply fantastic. The best word to describe it is decadent. It is rich with all kinds of fruit notes combined with thick and sweet syrupy flavors I get in a good cask strength bourbon like ECBP. I'm probably overrating this a little because it's the first cask strength Scotch I've had that wasn't peated, but this is so damn good. I've been wanting to try some sherry cask strength non-peated Scotch for a while now, but options are limited in NC. Now I'm worried the other few options on the shelf like Glenlivet Nadurra will severely disappoint.
