Nose: Chocolate and raisins. Some peat notes blending beautifully. Slightly grassy. A little bit of vanilla sneaking in. Palate: Bold and firm off the bat. Some fruitiness as well as the chocolate. Vanilla stinger here. Some cereal flavor as well. Finish: Medium. Sweetness blending with some spice as well making the finish smooth as well as bold. A very full flavor. Overall Thoughts: I was impressed as well as pleasantly surprised! Very smooth and very flavorful. It’s not overpowering in any way. It starts off sweet on the nose and presents a full-bodied flavor that exceeds the expectations. I’d buy a small bottle just to keep in the cabinet for the occasional sip.
