I've been wanting to try this 15 year for a long time, so thanks @LeeEvolved for the sample. The nose brought out spices right from the beginning, along with dark fruit and floral and earthy properties. Specifically red grapes, cinnamon, powdered sugar, cherry pie and crust. Medium mouth coat on the palate. Spicier than sweet with red peppers, tamales, and more cinnamon. Strawberries with a sulfuric note as well. An original taste more savory than expected with chicken liver/gravy as well. Comparable to a Longmorn 16. A spice bomb, but a very dry finish with mint. Intriguing and intellectual, so it's worth the journey to decipher all the notes. Highland Park should be respected here, but the price is a little high for 300 bucks. 3.75 and the theme will be "Light My Fire" by The Doors. Damn, I miss Jim Morrison RIP.
