Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Vanilla, with caramel and a hint of maple. Palate: Baking spice, clove, and some oak tannins. Finish: The spice fades quickly, leaving a pleasant clove that lingers. Splash: No new flavors are revealed, but the clove and oak become more pronounced. Overall: 8/10 - This is a fine dram, but considering the price and rarity, I expected more. Will probably hold up well with an ice cube or in a cocktail.
