The nose is thick strawberry jam with a burnt characteristic, almost like it was toasted or part of a pastry. But it's also heartier than expected. Almost reminds you of breakfast food or omelets. The taste adds sweet-smoked cherry to the jam with some weird funk floating around the edges. Relatively little finish, but the front end sure packs a flavor wallop. Would make a good breakfast whisky. Not quite substantial enough for dessert.
