This is a beautiful dram! The first thing you notice is definitely the wine note on the nose, it is clear and defined, but not unbalanced. The red wine note is present but well integrated into the whole. It is elegant and round, balanced by pleasant caramel toffee sweetness. With time in the glass, this wine influence dissipates and the character of the grains + wood take centre stage. Once it reaches this stage it shows some family resemblance to Wiser's Legacy (which is always welcome in my books!) I expected it to be nearly all corn, but I'd venture a guess that there is some rye in the blend. It is a wonderful experience...another home run for Dr. Don!
