Visual: Medium amber/gold color. Thin to medium legs that take a little while to slide into the glass. Nose: Candied Almonds, hazelnuts, and pecans are first to arrive, followed by honey and cereal, a la Honey Nut Cheerios. Citrus zest and apple juice follow. Thankfully, the initial objectionable sourness that I found in the 12-year-old was not present at all here. Palate: Sweet and nutty like the nose, with some grain and a little spice. I get a little of the savory note that I found in the 12, especially when breathing out through my nose. Nice sweetness, but not over the top. Finish: I agree with those who experienced a dry, oaky finish. The dryness and slight bitterness are not off-putting. The finish is medium length and warming, but not too hot. Empty glass: Lightly nutty. Overall, I like this much better than its 12-year old younger sibling. I especially like the nose better, but the entire experience is much better than the 12. I believe the 14-year benefits from being bottled at 46% ABV instead of 40%. I would buy a bottle of this for sure. Four stars.
