$50 bottle SAOS Citi Wine & Spirits store pick 5 year, 114.28 proof; Open about one month and 1/2 full bottle. Tasted neat in Glencairn and rested 10 minutes. The nose shows a little ethanol heat but beyond there is sweet vanilla, butterscotch, and touches of faint damp oak. The palate starts with vanilla and sweet caramel, and a slightly creamy mouthfeel. Then it moves on to honey graham cracker notes, hints of cherries, and refreshing spearmint as a wave of spicy heat washes over. The spice lingers on the medium to long finish with a kiss of the same vanilla, brown sugar, butterscotch sweetness. And after the spicey heat and sweetness fades, the slightest bit of dark chocolate and oak hangs on. A tasty dram indeed.
