Got this for my birthday!
Color: yaaay E150
Nose: Its a bit bourbon-ish, rich vanilla, fudge, cake, wood, suede leather; like an old antiqueshop, dry grass, some floral notes and a little bit of smoke in the background. Not too bad actually but no changes over time in the glass.
Arrival: Fresh and quite lightpicy wood and some hazelnut
Developement: the spice and sherried wood give way to sweet grainflavours, but not the cheap kind of grain, caramel, vanilla and some vegetal notes, the malt fades away quickly and it gets a little buttery creamy
Finish: the wood, the nuts (almond) and the spice come back and leave a gentle burn; in the mouth, not in the throat. Its soft and comfortable. It ends with a chocolaty dryness and even some ash
Hey! Not bad for a blend! I especially like the nose, Its like a Bourbonnahabhain haha. But after the surprising arrival it fades away pretty fast into a sort of caramelvodka so be shure to swallow quickly! Finish is not too long, but again, for a blend its pretty good! As long as you dont drink it like its a Single malt you'll be fine. Nice with a cigar while watching James Bond after a long day of work. After the boxingmatch you turn on the stereo and you put on your favourite symphony and pour a complex single malt:)
