Nose - sweet caramel with fruit notes Palate - I'm definitely tasting plum and richer caramel flavors, a lot of flavor overall Finish - very long, dry, and full-bodied, a bit more harsh than anticipated Overall - a more intense tasting experience - I do enjoy it though and might pair it with some sweet dishes
Remarkable whiskey. The aroma is citrusy with abundant floral notes, reminiscent of orange blossom honey but less sweet. Flavors include spices over an orange marmalade foundation. It's not as sweet as the nose suggested. The medium to long finish offers more orange and a lasting sweetness.
Incredibly interesting and delicious! I detect green grape, plum, possibly pear, a hint of coconut, marzipan, and even a creme brulee flavor. Wonderful and very fruity.
My taste buds are a bit messed up so I need another sip. But what I'm getting is good! It's mellow and easy to drink. There's a delicate sweet butter or caramel flavor that is rather pleasant.
Smell: Flowers, wood, caramel candy Taste: Sweetened apple, baked goods End: Rich confections Instant hit of sweetened apple, a little heat, quite smooth.
