Aroma: This release is less complex than previous ones. The white grape profile is very apparent, and I consistently detect blueberry and maple notes in these FN releases, which I adore. There's also a strawberry note mixed with toffee/caramel. The oak presence is quite pleasant. The alcohol content is not noticeable. Taste: Prominent white wine notes create a slightly drying finish. The taste largely mirrors the aroma. Overall: This might be my least favorite FN release I've tried, but it's still exceptional. Like all their offerings, they drink below their stated proofs, are full of flavor, and are well worth the cost.
