Aroma- this one isn’t as complex as past releases. That white grape profile is very evident and I seem to always get a blueberry and maple note on these FN releases which I love. There is also a strawberry note in there mixed with toffee / caramel. Oaky presence is really nice though. Zero presence of that ABV Taste - lots of white wine notes coming through creates a slightly drying experience on the finish. But this one pretty much follows the nose. Overall - this one might be my least favorite release (that I have able to try) from FN but this is still exceptional. Like all their releases, they drink well below its proofs, full of flavor and well worth the price of admission.
