Glencairn, neat.
Color: Burnt amber.
Aroma: With a swirl baked cherry jam, rye spice and dill with a tingle of cinnamon. Settles down to light butterscotch. Not overpowering, but wafting I can draw out the dill.
Taste: Creamy and smooth, the dram leaves a pleasant coating across the entire palate with a light sting on the tongue tip. A steady taste throughout the mouth of cooked stone fruits, with cherry the dominant component. Slight toffee and butterscotch at the back end.
Finish: Long, warming and smooth, with a slight lingering burn across the palate.
Overall: Satisfactory. There is complexity in the aroma, with subtle layers that reveal a unique dill element that I found intriguing. Taste is more or less one-dimensional, with only hints of flavor change from mid to back palate. Definitely aged but not overly oaked, and there is balance in the taste and finish.
