Score - 72/100
Final Thoughts - This was an interesting dram in that it seems to have a nose that seems to evolve as you take sips of the dram. It starts off fairly lackluster with mostly a tame vanilla & toffee but evolves to add this unripe fruit "funk." This follows on the palate that your first few sips seem a bit boring, but as it sits on your tongue, it evolves a bit to become a tiny bit more complex, but picks up this odd unripe fruit acidity that's not unpleasant, but a tiny bit distracting. Finish is fairly short and you quickly forget what you just had.
