On the nose, the first note I got, of all things, was pine trees. The sherry and cinnamon danced its way in afterward. I get an oak smell that's not too forward as well. Hope the palate is as good. With 43% ABV, let's leave this alone. Oh, a little burn, but apples, crust, vanilla, wood chip, walnuts.. not bad at all. A smidgen hot though maybe. Let's just do two SMALL drops of aqua. Man, I could nose this all day and night. More tropical flavors made their way in. A little cheaper than the Glendronach 12, but good as well. This is one to ponder. The finish is medium, but a little alcohol still there, and that's my only "complaint". 3.5. This is "Cinnamon Girl" by Neil Young. Thanks to Scott for the sample!
