The bottle I bought came with a really cool birdfeeder.
Nose: Orchard fruits, cherries, honey, dark chocolate
Palate: Honey, caramel apple, buttery, baking spices
Finish: Lengthy, warm, spicy with lingering oak.
It tastes like a classic. I can only imagine what this would be like at a higher ABV. I suspect it was wise to start here though and work my way up to the bigger birds.
Bonus points for managing to sneak buying a bottle of whisky as a gift for my wife. "Look at the beautiful bird feeder I bought you babe! 😉)

Came back to this bottle again this evening for a nip after work. I don't know if it's the fact that the bottle has been open a few months or if it was the drops of water that I added, but this is now easily a 4.5. All of the original notes are still there, but are now amped up (the fruit in particular). I felt this was a little overhyped on my first few drams, but I get it now. And yes my wife put the bird feeder out and she loves it 😁
