Nose - Light sweet peat, over-steeped black tea, clean grain alcohol sweetness, hint of cognac leather. Taste - Nice black & white pepper spice/tingle, hint of a dark fruity sherried Scotch, dark dried stone fruits, dark barrel aged apple cider oaky sweet, faint hint of fruity smoke, dark honey. Finish - Lingering white pepper tingle, light fruity smoke, sweet dark honey/dried fruit sweetened black tea. Score - 85/100 Final Thoughts - This was quite pleasant. I haven't personally had Black Label very often, but from what I recall, this definitely packs a bit more of a punch in the flavor department. I think it has a bit more of a fruity component than the standard Black label and the higher proof helps with the mouthfeel too. It feels more mouth coating versus the thin feeling of the standard Black. The fruit cuts the smoke so that it's a very faint player in the background which is nice. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Maybe Would I buy a bottle? - No, not at the current price
