Tasting Notes

Nose

Oak right off the bat, and lots of it. Solvent notes from the higher alcohol content. Subtle malt, followed by more oak.

Palate

Honey and melon sweetness quickly transitions into spice, nutmeg, and ground peppercorn, with oak present throughout but not overwhelmingly so. Notes of bitter orange chocolate candy.

Finish

The finish has a lingering yet gentle burn, oak tones, aftertaste of overcooked popcorn. Spice continues after the burn. Very satisfying finish. The highlight of the dram, in my experience.
