Perfume and macadamia nuts.  Solid stuff.

Sorry couldn't do better... big whisky event.

B/B+

 

retaste 10/1/14 (thanks, Matt)

 

n:  Great.  A medly of sugar plums (the cheap colored candy, not the real thing.)  Hint of burning potpouri.  A-/A on the nose

 

p:  light peanut brittle and oak.  Leads to caramel toward the finish with the slightest hint toward tar.  Tad watery.

 

Easy sippin'.

B+/A- 

Fuji
 

N: Fragrant exotic woods, varnish, incense, almonds, preserved fruit, and syrup from fruit cups

P: Alot of dry oak mixed with refined sherry sweetness.  Cherries and hints of smoke on the finish

Ries
 

n: dense forest, dried mushroom, wet forest pine, and charred red berries. Complex and earthy and very pleasant nose. 

 

t: umami and mushroom gravy, cinnamon, charred oak, dark vanilla cream, and a little spice. Mineral notes, middle is dark and chewy honeycomb and nice rounded oak influence. Pretty much perfectly balanced with a dried floral pedal and grapefruit and soft white pepper, waxy with a long finish.   [B+/A-]
