At first appearance MWND seems to have a golden amber color. Similar to the color of the Jurassic Park Dino DNA mosquito-cain. The general aroma consists of spice, sweet butter cream (think morning breakfast griddle) with a very light hint of alcohol. After my first taste clear hints of clove, butter, leather and rich dark fruit. However, as you let the flavors dance it would seem that the finish just simply isn’t as long as one would like, great dram just wish it would last longer on the tongue.
