All spice, red Thai  chili pepper, raspberry, green apple, young strawberry and candle wax.

Runs hot for being 46% and isn't nearly as sweet as you might expect.  Lots of fruit mentioned above with red licorice and toasted oat. Actually, quite a lot going on. Slight mustiness appears mid palate. Bitter vegetal quality on the medium finish.

Youthful and vibrant.  A solid easy drinker. B/B+

n:  Berries in an old pipe

 

p:  Musty fruit.  Bitter cherries and a hint of sandalwood.  Lacks  the overwhelming lusciousness of the solist sherry and is disappointly unsweet (for me) but still a respectable malt.

 

B-/B
