This scotch breaks into two parts for me, a wonderful nose and palate and then a discordant finish. The wonderful vanilla, fruit, sweet, and mildly tart features of the first two give way to a strong but not pleasant (to me) finish that is oversweet, a bit acidic, and long-lasting, with too much of the rum influence. I also get a lot of mintiness at the end, almost like a breath mint. For those who like rum this could be quite the hit, but it's not for me.
