Another Sunday evening arrives. I find myself sitting by the trimmed (artificial) tree and a cozy fire in the wood stove. Christmas music is piping through the speakers. All this after having enjoyed The Last Jedi. A good day; now time for a pour. After a good, long opening, a vanilla nose with orange creamsicle and ripened apples arrive. Cereal notes of oats with a touch of honey and a out-of-theme, fresh ginger, round out the nose. The palate is greeted with sugary sweetness over a medium body Ginger, again, with cinnamon and pie crust are the main flavors touched with a small amount of woodiness working to the finish. The finish is a touch spicy of white pepper and a dash of wasabi with a ginger zing that slowly fades to the end. Though this is an 18 year old, it honestly feels more on par as a 12 year old. A good dram, but considering it's age and price, I would expect a sophistication or complexity greater than what is delivered. The sweetness makes it enjoyable and work well as an after-meal dessert. Many thanks to @GenerouslyPaul for providing this sample. [85/100][Tasted: 12/17/18]
