Received a blind sample from a friend. Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Vanilla and caramel with a light floral note. Palate: Cinnamon, clove, baking spice. Finish: Medium heat the goes on and on. Splash: A dry oak note appears. Overall: 9/10 - This one seems pretty basic until the finish, which just won't quit. Between the finish and the oak, this has some age and proof on it.
