jdriip 4.3

I don’t normally comment on color, but this is exceptionally dark. Nose is Dark: Dark fruits, dark chocolate, manuka honey, tobacco, roasted nuts, some herbal notes and graham cracker. Palate: A bit silky and full, but not quite as dark as the nose indicates. Notes of dark fruits, roasted nuts, tobacco, mocha, brown sugar, caramel, a little citrus and honey. Finish: Long and spicy with notes of raisins, nuts, light tobacco and honey.

jaycart 4.8

The glendromach ode to the dark. Pedro Ximena’s cask. 50.8 abv. Wine almond cocoa . Blackberry chocolate toblerone, too elegant taste! Blueberry. Perfect spice equilibrium.
