This is for Ace Spirits barrel selection from 2018 I believe.
First thing the nose reminds me of is high esters Jamaican rum like Hampden's. Nose texture? I think I finally found it. Alcohol attack is subtle for its high proof. These give way for sweetness. Fermented honey and dried figs.
Palate is warm and inviting, marble cake with rum raisins. :then the high proof pounces a bit, leaving a nice afterglow finish of sweet brown sugar with cardamom spice.
For some strange reason this 100% wheat of a dram screams RUM. I would definitely spike my tea with this one.
