Nose: Cherry, almond, amaretto? Palate: Yup more amaretto with some oak and spice Finish: Quick finish but more cherry notes on the way down with a citrus and ginger note lingering. If this was a bit more viscous with a longer finish it would have been perfect.
Cherry is very present particularly dark or black cherry both on the nose and palette. Starts tart like you would expect with Cherries and evolves in a short spicy/sweet and drier cherry finish. Very smooth and for cask strength very approachable.
Spiced oak on the nose, palate starts with heat, spice and oak and finishes with caramel and brown sugar, maybe a little cherry cola. Medium finish. Wish it had a little more body. A little thin
Very nice and tasty. Good finish, but a little bit of a funky tasty on the backend
