Nose
Fruity, a light candied sweetness, cherries, strawberry, raspberry, yellow plum, fruit preserve, a little sour wine, drying wood notes and a bit of cinnamon spice.
Palate
Sweet, fruity, cherry, strawberry, raspberry, some bitter citrus, developing into a more tannic sourness, woodspicy, some clove and more hints of cinnamon.
Finish
Short sweetness with prolongues tannic sourness and sharpness. Cherry, strawberry, poorly made red wine, drying on clove and pepper.
Overall Notes
Not entirely bad for a whisky matured on red wine barrels, which most of the time is a recipe for disaster. Still overpriced though for the presented complexity.
