Neat in a glen, rested for 10 mins because this came in really hot last time. Nose: fruity (maybe cherries), with mild oak and ethanol Palate: soft, buttery, semi-sweet, with a good bit of cinnamon-allspice Finish: faint heat, smoky The bottle’s profile has changed quite a bit since I last had it (for the better). Last time the smoke and heat dominated everything and I couldn’t pick any flavors out — and I think it was because of tastes with water/ice. Literally 2-3 drops changed it from pretty good to an indiscernible smoke show. No more water… and even then, I still genuinely prefer OF 1897 BiB over this.
