This darker amber dram greeted me with a hint of peach and oak, both on fire. Going in, it was almost sherry, definitely smoky wood. Finished with a lingering caramel. Very, very smooth all around. A few drops of water seemed to add a bit of a spice. As a highball, it was rendered into an adult peach and apple drink (no judgment on that particular outcome...). To me, there was an odd (but NOT unpleasant) fleeting signature to the taste. I'm not sure what it is. It's unique.
