Visual: Amber Colour. Slow, evenly-spaced legs.
Nosing: sweet, fruity, and floral. Some cinnamon and toasted oak. Sweet, light toffee hits the back of the nostrils. Candied fruits.
Tasting: sweet and fruity. Good body; medium finish. Oak on the back end; dry at the back of the tongue. A bit young and hot, akin to rum. Spicy.
Reduced Nosing: vanilla and honey come through water is added. Tinned/jarred pear also comes through. Oak lessens.
Reduced Tasting: With added water, ethanol "flavour" comes through; burn lessens. Vague fruitiness and vanilla.
Not as good as I first thought; however, for a young spirit, it does have quite a bit of tenacity to it!
