Nose- chocolate covered raisins, vanilla, gingerbread, plums, spiced oak Palate- ginger, apricot, dried fruits, milk chocolate, orange peel Finish- medium, oily finish with bright citrus and baking spices Solid whisky. Nothing too crazy, and certainly not worth $300. Great sherry notes with the usual macallan ginger notes on the nose and palate. Hard to not be disappointed though due to the price point.
