Day 2 of temporary bachelorhood. Wife is visiting some friends. Sports, music, beef, whisky and wine sums up the weekend (throw is some work and house and auto maintenance too). Another sample for a day long ago from @LeeEvolved from our now defunct SDT (will there be an SDT2?) Taking it in on the nose, apples, apricots, honey are the forward notes. Some Concord grapes (Welch’s Jam) with a dash of cinnamon arrive as the dram begins to open. It is all encased in vanilla and toasted marshmallow sweetness. There is maltiness that weaves about. Quite a nose. The palate accepts a light and sugary whisky. White sugar, vanilla and honey in a thin, lightweight body. The sugary sweetness slowly turns spicy with white pepper and cinnamon (partially Red Hots, partially ground spice). A gentle earthiness forms towards the fade. What remains on the the palate for a fair length is drying oak tannins, lemon oil and ginger root. If I could embody the nose into a palatable entity, this would be a semi-solid dram. The thinness of the body and the briefness of the palate prevents this from being prevents it from being so. Sweet, dry and spicy describes this in three little words. [Tasted: 10/7/18][84/100]
