Nose - Ripe apples, honey, hint of orange, golden raisins Taste - Honey, golden raisins, dried apples, candied ginger spice/tingle/heat, light salt Finish - Very nice lingering ginger warmth, sweet honeyed golden raisins, filtered apple juice sweetness, light hint of graphite Score - 86/100 Final Thoughts - This had a very pleasant nose, not too complex but very well put together. Nice balance on the palate as well in that there was nothing off-putting, simple flavors but they all played well with each other. This felt like mostly if not entirely ex-bourbon aged but not much caramel/vanilla but more of a highlighted fruity malt. Nice finish too although there's a slight graphite-like finish that's a tiny bit unpleasant but it's subtle. This was quite a nice dram and honestly drank like it was more of a 43/46% ABV dram versus a 40%. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - Yes Would I buy a bottle? - Yes
