Representing speyside deveron river Nose: oak, wood, cream, distinctive, sweet, like a cream puff, ?acidic?, winey (red), I think the acid is really orange & citrus mixed with red wine. I don’t care for it. Very distant caramel. The nose is better from a distance. Body: smooth and creamy Palate: orange stands out, then oak and caramel sweetness. It’s different. Finish: woody, way late an orange twangs which I thought was amazing. Later still bready, more orange cream, nice bourbon sweetness, not very warming though. Note: first sip had a lot going on. The nose had me a little concerned (the acid) but I think it is a strong orange nose. Overall I appreciate this dram but it’s not my style. The taste is better than the nose. I was excited for this one and a little let down it’s ok not good or great. Certainly interesting. It has scored so highly but I think that must be the novelty of the flavor which again I appreciate its different but I don’t like different in this case. A second taste mixed with benriach curiositas was a no go. A third taste was different perhaps as the bottle breathed the weird red wine cream tamed down and it was more like a 3.25 than a 3. It was just better
