A superb blend of mint, dark chocolate, some berries, and a touch of smoke. (A more detailed review will be provided later). Considering its price, it's an excellent red wine-influenced whisky.

Alcohol and cinnamon on the nose, flavor of vanilla, cream, and tannin. Significant oxidation occurs within a few hours since no coloring is added to this dram.
Smooth, without any burn, earthiness, oakiness, or peat. The aroma presents vanilla and nutmeg, yet the flavor does not reflect this.
Full-bodied, flavorful, and rich. Well-rounded and sweet, with a pleasing conclusion.
A bourbon-like flavor
