Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium-dark amber. Nose: Caramel and dark fruits, with some earthy notes. Palate: Cinnamon and clove with the same earthy notes. Finish: Very long with lots of heat. Splash: Cinnamon notes are muted and clove becomes sweeter with some mint. Overall: 9/10 - A fantastic dram that I was lucky enough to find for close to MSRP. I had heard good things about this batch and ot did not disappoint.
