Nose: Vanilla, raisins, honeysuckle, slight pepper, as I sit with it the honeysuckle and pepper vanish leaving the vanilla and raisin Taste: honey, raisins, light vanilla, overall kind of thin Finish: slightly tannic and peppery with lingering raisin Adding water brings out some dark chocolate and cinnamon in the taste and makes the nose a little bit closer to the glenlivet 12.
