Nose- Floral wildflowers, rich caramel, spiced oak, maple syrup, vanilla bean Palate- Wave of baking spices initially, followed by notes of charred oak, black pepper, caramel, nutmeg, and a hint of maple syrup Finish- medium, spicy finish with notes of charred oak, baking spices, and black pepper What a nose. Beautiful mingling of herbal, sweetness, and aged oak. Unfortunately, that is the whiskies most shining moment. The palate is average, with an emphasis and spices and black pepper. A bit of maple syrup sweetness comes though, as well as charred oak, but spice dominates the initial sip and finish.
