This one has a powerfully fruity nose. Smells of slightly old raspberries mixed in with a little citrus zest. The taste carries with it sweet honey and has a bit of a malty mouthfeel that, when mixed with the honey, reminds me of honey nut cheerios a bit. As the taste goes down and blossoms into the finish you catch something just a bit tannic and slightly musty, like an old leather jacket. When the taste is long done, there's a wisp of peat smoke that dances off the tip of your tongue, almost unnoticeable. I had to take a second drink to confirm its presence.
This is just fine for what is essentially a wine cask selection. It isn't too fruit forward on the taste, despite what the nose tells you.
