Nose - a very chocolatey nose. Sweet desserts like donuts and puddings. I smell kheer which is an Indian dessert! I also smell cardomom. I do get an abv hit! Doesn’t surpise me as its 60.1%. Taste - oily and really sweet! Tastes like honey and apple pie. It has a very strange warm feel in the mouth. Mild spicyness due to high abv. Medium long finish. It reminds me of a fresh of the over apple pie with vanilla ice cream. I also get grapes and candied apple! The bourbon barrel influence is very evident. Bourbon drinkers would love this whisky. Thoroughly enjoyed this dram. I personally prefer the regular abunadh but this is wonderful as well.
