Nose: Delightfully refined! This is a dram that oozes quality from the very first sniff. Fluffy clouds of candy. Drizzles of honey and spice. Corn sweetness and marshmallows. Warm notes of white pepper and caramel syrup.

Taste: Rich, filthy rich! Decadent and luxurious. Pepper and vanilla. Memories of BBQ smokiness and toasted oak.

Finish: Long finish. It continues to be sooo rich and beautiful. Freshly ground black pepper, bread crust, and rich maple syrup.

Comment: I’m in love!
