The nose presents light oak and a sweet aroma, almost like wine or bubblegum, with impressive depth. The palate consists of oak tannin, caramel, and a sweet fruit jam. The finish is medium-long with hints of light cinnamon and toffee. This is a rather good pour, offering both depth and complexity while maintaining a lighter character, and it has a pleasant coating mouthfeel. This expression of a 14-year-old whiskey takes it in an intriguing direction.

A subtle, aged, and faint musty aroma. The flavors are magnificent, featuring deep toffee and wood notes that are perfectly blended, creating a rich and full-bodied experience. A gentle sweetness persists through the finish, which is heavy and velvety. I truly enjoy it. If it had a bit more wood or spice to balance the sweetness, it would be a perfect score.
Really enjoying this one. You can't beat a Tokaji finish, and it pairs perfectly with the age of this spirit. Picked it up on sale for $70 and might purchase another. I wouldn't be disappointed if I had paid full price.
Appears and smells fantastic, however, the finish is quite unpleasant.
It's salty at the start and spicy at the finish.
Dickle stands out. Very dry. Unpleasant
