It lived to my expectations. Spectacular on the nose, nice on the palate. Bottled at 46%abv, with a burnished color. On the nose is amazing. The most sweet dram i have ever nosed without a doubt. Caramelized apples, brown sugar, chocolate, lemon, prunes, caramel rolls, sophisticated vanilla, cinnamon, hints of liquorice. Sweet and complex. On the palate is delicious but can be too sweet and can numb your palate. Liquorice, caramel, apples. A full tobacco sensation as soon as it hits the tongue, transforms into a pleasant elegant hotness. Full mouth sensation. Even the nose gets a little action. Herbal notes, very pleasant. The spices are very balanced. An amazing dram truly. Very enjoyable. Made for experienced drinkers. Lots of cinnamon in the nose and palate. Just the right amount. Finish is long but too sweet even for me. Overall i give this baby a 93 over a 100. Absolutely recommended.
