Brine, toffee, vanilla, stewed apples, citrus, cinnamon, bonfire, asphalt, rubber, berry, tobacco, pepper. More medicinal and smoky on the palate. Such a great whisky. I like this one better than batch 12, as it comes across like there are some oloroso casks in the mix, although I had thought these were all ex-bourbon casks. Whatever the case, batch 9 shows more complexity than 12, but both awesome.
