As a nice long Thanksgiving week comes to a close, albeit all to quick, a bookend whisky from @Generously_Paul from the SDT will be the scotch that says goodbye November and welcome December. A copper color of a fresh fresh penny sits in the glass. A fresh opening on the nose of vanilla pudding and some of standard sherried attributes: raisins, dates, plums. Nehi Grape soda with a touch of nuttiness and woodiness is detectable. There is a gentle sweetness of vanilla, honey and cream soda. What was once sweet turns mildly spicy of ginger, cinnamon and cayenne pepper. A creamy texture delivers these flavors. As the flavors fade and work towards the finish, some semi sweet chocolate chips and orange bitters. Those bitters carry through the finish. Some caramel and vanilla sweetness seeps through with some oaky dryness. A nice soulful warming ending closes the dram. This is a decent scotch that is better than most. This could easily be a workhorse, everyday dram if it was more accessible and a few dollars cheaper. Sweet and spicy, like most I have tasted, but not overly so. Not robust, but not drab either.
