The nose starts off with a subtle sweetness from the oak. Vanilla, brown sugar, ginger, honey, tobacco/hearty tea bag and candied oranges too. The palate brought (not artificial) lemony tea meets miso/won ton soup. A short finish with honey and a little bit of a mocha note. Water brings out more fruit and floral properties, and it isn't killed by it even though it's only at 46 ABV. The theme for this dram is "Pennyroyal Tea" by Nirvana. This is one of the best of the Berry's independent bottles that I've had. 3.75. Thanks so much for the sample @LeeEvolved !!
