There is a lot of character backing this, though it does need a bit more richness to taste really old. It's woody, chocolatey, a bit spicy, smoky, leathery, a little tobacco-flavored, and a hint nutty. There's some vanilla and salt, the latter of which is a bit excessive for this flavor profile. The bitter orange peel strength brings in some mineral flavors an unnecessary bitterness that bring this drink down a bit, but it's still really good. A good substitute for Glenfarclas 25 at a lower price.

Great review and notes! That bitterness overpowered the drink for me.
