Very, very sweet nose--kind of a sweet, syrupy, grape and honey taste. This reminds me of the Rozelieres whiskey from France, which have a cognac taste. Body is viscous, and the finish is smooth with orange and dark chocolate notes. Very drinkable. Reminds me more of port than whiskey. Don't think it's worth the price tag, though--you can get a comparable bottle aged in sherry/port casks for a lot less.
