Tasting Notes:

Medium yellow color.
Rich alcohol spice nose with a molasses/caramel note.
Very sweet on the palate with a big caramel note, honeydew, and rich peppery spice.
With some water this opens up to leathery spice and honey on the nose.
Big honey and orange spice on the palate. Rich oak but it is not too oily.
A good sweet and spicy malt. A closed distillery so the price is warranted if it is in your range of affordability.
