Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Butterscotch, apple, some nutty notes. Palate: Clove and baking spice, none of the sweetness from the nose. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: Leather and oak notes open upen up with a little water. Overall: 8/10 - This is something of a unicorn where I live and I received a sample in trade. It's more complex than I expected, but not the best I've had from Heaven Hill. Might be good over ice or in a cocktail, but alas, I only received 50 ml.
