Nose - (w/o water) Floral honey, Chinese dried red dates, sweet incense? dark apple juice, hint of golden raisins (w/ water) More "bright" but more boring, golden raisins, ripe apples Taste - (w/o water) Rich caramel apple juice, hint of chocolate, dark golden raisins, hint of fruity incense (w/ water) Creamy caramel, dark apple juice, sandalwood? Finish - (w/o water) Lingering sweet yet dry, fresh dates, golden raisins, caramel (w/ water) Gentle ginger heat, light golden raisins, fruity incense Score - 81/100 Final Thoughts - This was an interesting one. I guess I didn't really get the "meaty" notes like I did with their other expressions. This one was quite interesting in that I got these fairly strange notes in it of incense and the Chinese red dates. This seemed to come & go throughout the dram & water didn't seem to help this one as much as others. It did make it seem more "bright" but it didn't seem to help it as much. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - No
