*Score* 87 *Color* Deep orange, amber, copper, rust. *Nose* Sweet sherry bourbon. Bit of a burn. Couldn’t decipher much. *Palate* Quite thin and light. *Finish* The initial alcohol burns seem out of proportion for only 80 proof. I didn’t get much other than faint orange peels as the burn settles down. *Notes* Just 2 drops hugely opens up this dram and creates an entirely different experience. A more bountiful citrus array arrives before a relatively longer cinnamon finish (though still a rather short finish). The honey lingers across your tongue with more heavy sherry on the backend. I also picked up hints of wood. Like a lost lover, you don’t appreciate this one at the time. The best part is the aftertaste – it’s favorable and you want it to come back. This one grows on you. A lukewarm first dram becomes a dear friend after you’ve revisited the bottle a handful of times. It’s fun to explore while counting the drops you add. I suggest purchasing a bottle, but be very careful in pacing yourself. It’s quite drinkable as a session scotch and could get you in trouble. Also a very good expression to introduce a bourbon drinker to the scotch world.
