  • I was surprised how strange this was compared to the XO and the 12yr. The oak was also more poorly prominent here compared to the 12yr also. Hmmm. Still a great value, but with all three on the shelf, Id soon rather reach for the 12 or XO first.

  • This is an upgrade from the 5YO, I’m enjoying the dried fruits notes and the spices. It’s well rounded, not too thin or boring, but not too exciting either.

  • Nose:

    Caramel, some ethanol. Vanilla, molasses, mild fruity funk.

  • Taste:

    Thin, oaky and sweet. Theres not a lot going on here and the oak is weirdly dominant with some thin astringency.

  • Finish:

    Short, sweet and faintly oaky. Overripe banana, confectioners sugar, funky sour tannins.

  • Overall:

    I was surprised how strange this was compared to the XO and the 12yr. The oak was also more poorly prominent here compared to the 12yr also. Hmmm. Still a great value, but with all three on the shelf, Id soon rather reach for the 12 or XO first.
