This is a very intriguing pour. And to be honest I am having a really tough time picking out the tasting notes on this. Vanilla and some spice seem to be the most predominant. A bit of caramel on the taste and a shortish finish. It’s good but a tad thin for an 8 year. No real criticism but nothing that jumps out either. I won’t refuse but not drawn back. A very muted balanced pour.
