Nose: slight vanilla, slight Carmel. Little to no ethanol. You can tell this is a well done dram off the nose. Palate: brown sugar, Carmel, vanilla and slight barrel spice. Maybe light green apple Finish: lingers with nice hug on the end. Overall: it’s as good as advertised. It’s damn near perfect. And if you get it at retail which in Nc was 40 dollars it’s Impossible to beat for the money. There’s no comparison for the money. Excellent in all facets. Highly recommend grabbing a bottle. I know it’s hard to come by but stay the course it’s worth it.
