Fruit upfront - aromas of raspberry gum. After a tipple or two, notes of ripe strawberry on the nose. The palate is of apricots, raisins, and red fruits - raspberries - flowing with honeyed mead. A tad creamy. Fruitier and sweeter than the 12. A must-have. My Rating Glossary: Two Stars: "I'd rather be drinking lite beer." Two 1/2 Stars: "Posh rubbish." Three Stars: "I love whisk(e)y.
