Appearance: Mahogany. Medium legs. Darker than expected given the very dark green bottle.
Nose: Very warm, high alcohol presence. Much like a very young single malt. Notes of brown sugar and dried flowers.
Palate: Sweet on the front end, floral progressing through the finish. Flavors of black licorice candy and spiced gumdrops. Hint of clove. The finish is quite floral, somewhat reminiscent of some Speyside malts and high-rye bourbons. Medium burn. Bright and warm throughout the finish.
