Color is Longhorn burnt orange. The overall impression, for me, is cinnamon red-hots. Pepper, acetone, caramel, and a subtle whiff of bark on the nose, and in the mouth you can almost taste wood staves and leather, reminiscent of an old library. Lots of power, but all in balance, and dry as the desert. More expensive than the standard Whistlepig 10-year, but a better buy for my tastes.
