Tasted blind at a friend's house. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Light-medium amber. Nose: Caramel, raisin, dark fruit, oak. Palate: Clove, oak, and something I can't quite place. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: Oak and clove notes and a grassy? note. Overall: 8/10 - I had wanted to try this and it did not disappoint. Will stand up well to ice and I'll definitely pick up a bottle.
