I've been wanting this bottle since quite some time now. After finally buying the bottle (yes I do have a list in which order I buy bottles because otherwise I would be broke each and every month) I opened it and it smelled like a glue factory, with a harsh alcoholic smell. Giving it a couple of minutes of air, the notes of warm cinnamon buns and dark chocolate came through. The tastes of pepper, caramel, and dried fruit are a nice touch to this whisky. The finish is sweeter than expected and long lasting and has a touch of dried fruits to it. Pretty nice bottle and one to have on the shelf
