Nose - Raisins, figs, fig newtons, dark honey, caramel, flamed orange zest, chocolate, hint of grape soda Taste - Raisins, dark apple cider, sweet peppery heat, ginger, figs, caramel, hint of orange, lightly drying Finish - Lingering fruity heat, syrupy raisins, light metallic like from that of canned fruit, hint of fruity bitter fruit stems/vines Score - 91/100 Final Thoughts - This one didn't disappoint. The nose was incredible and lasts a very long time. I think the slightly higher proof helps with that without being too punchy with the alcohol vapors. The nose just keeps on going. Once it hits the palate it isn't as complex as the nose, but is still quite tasty. You can tell it's a younger spirit as it doesn't have that thick leathery mouthfeel of older Scotches, but is still quite nice. This is something I can see myself sipping on when I want a very nicely sherried dram. Finish could use a bit of work, but it's still quite pleasant.
