Rich and fruitful. That’s on the initial nosing. Very similar to a sherried whisky: Dalmore or Macallan. The aromas come across like a speaker design. Bass, mid-range and treble. Pecan and/walnuts nuttiness provide the low end. Honey, Grape Nuts cereal, blood oranges, watermelon and thin-sliced strawberries provide the mid-range. Those distinct notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla frosting provide the high range. They pop here and there and mix in with the other ranges. A viscous mouth rich and flavorful with an edge. Strawberries, vanilla primarily provide most of the flavor. The spice level runs high and the palate is in a constant prickle state. Cinnamon spice, cinnamon Red Hots, white pepper and vague hints of raspberry jam float and bite amongst sparse primary flavors. A fair amount of water actually mutes, diminishes the richness, and draws more of the bitterness out of the dram. It’s actually better in its natural state. A medium length finish of dark chocolate, raspberry port wine, ginger and barrel spices. Though the aromas and flavors are not wide ranging and the burn factor high, there is a quality about it that is approachable, enjoyable but with an heir of sophistication. A dram that I can visualize after a rich meal with some dear friends. Or just sitting on and Adirondack chair with a mild cigar just enjoying the silence. Thanks @PBMichiganWolverine for the generous sample. This is one one I would not have normally thought to seek out, but I may now. [88/100][[Tasted: 4/9/22]
