Okay time for a proper review! On the nose I get sweet fruit cakes and jelly, with a very rich perfumed waft. Drinking it I immediately recognize salted caramel, and a handful of plums and raisins that you just sink your teeth into before sucking them dry. I also get the feeling like I ate some cocoa powder with it. Very sweet, but not confectionary sweet. Sort of overripe I would say. The finish is dry and lingers for a decent amount of time. At the end I get black pepper. I’m still torn because this isn’t a knock your socks off whiskey, nor is a slouch in the least. It’s, dare I say, smooth. It’s light and accessible to newcomers yet for the seasoned pro (which I hope to one day be), you could find its place among others of its kind. Also, the $60 price tag for a 15 year old will keep me running to this before any of the big brands, and you’re not losing out on so much. I would like to try the others in this line, but for now this is good! Edit [06/2017] - After having the bottle open for some time with the contents being depleted to about half, the overall spice and ripeness has given way to a strong salted dark chocolate caramel covered cherry flavor profile. Still quite enjoyable, so the score remains the same.
