Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, apple, and toffee notes. Some apricot and raisin as well. Palate: Clove and baking spice with some cinnamon. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: Clove flavor is more pronounced. Overall: 6/10 - A bit more complexity would go a long way. The slightly elevated proof is evident in the finish but does nothing for the nose or palate.
