charred283 Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 This recently showed up locally, and I've been drinking some over the last week or so. Medium copper color, fairly complex aromas --- hints floral, stewed fruit, sherry, oak/vanilla, mothballs/attic. In terms of taste, very nicely balanced and smooth, bit sherry, fruit, light smoke and peat, oak/spiciness is noticeable but integrated. Medium finish.Overall, I liked this quite a bit, as much as the Glenlivet 18 and much more than the 12 YO French Oak (which I find too dry and overtly oaky). Bottled at 40% abv, which seemed just right for drinking neat. At $45, not a super bargain but not unreasonably priced. Cheers,John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
