Pulling one of the, now, backlogged sample from round five on a semi-virtual scotch whisky tour. This pour provided through the one and only @LeeEvolved. Honey poured over cereal (think Grape Nuts) mixed with almonds, cinnamon, vanilla and apples. There is a musty dampness that hovers amongst the breakfast cereal as initially described; like a hay-filled barn on a rainy day. Some slightly detectable notes of sherry as you let this open. A pleasant nose. The nuttiness forms the basis of the palate. The honey sweetness is drizzled lightly providing a mild counter to the nutty dryness. Grilled apricots and Gala apples add a fruity quality. There is a balanced cinnamon and black pepper spice that zings the palate. All this contained in a thick, rich and oily body. The finish is oaky and dry, but not overtly so. Cereal grains and cinnamon that slowly fades from the palate and goes deep and warm, everlasting. The latter part of the tour has brought some obscure, uncommon scotch. A good percentage disappointing. This, however, is quite enjoyable. Balanced, and consistent from nose through finish. Well done. [90/100][Tasted: 5/18/18]
