Nose - Vanilla, caramel, candied ginger, orange zest, sweet golden raisins, hint of salt, fresh grape skins, cocoa powder Taste - White pepper heat, caramel, candied ginger, orange zest, bright salinity, refreshing dark golden raisins, light red grape skin dryness, hint of spicy fruity sour Finish - Lingering ginger/white pepper heat, salinity intensifies, refreshing dark golden raisin sweet, light fruity tart, similar to grape skins or cranberry skins Score - 92/100 Final Thoughts - I really like this one & I always love having a dram of this because I always try to guess what the blend comprises of and this one leads me to believe there's a high percentage of ex-bourbon, & the other flavors lead me to almost believe there might be either a sweeter dessert wine finish or maybe an amontillado/manzanilla cask mixed with a single cask of a red wine finish because of the tannic nature I get. Regardless, this has a wonderful nose & the flavors get amplified once it hits the palate. Good transition to the palate & I like how the salinity gets amplified as you progress from the nose to the finish.
