Tasting Notes: The nose opens with loads of dried fruit and toffee. It's sweet and leathery. Notes of tobacco and figs continue with rich notes of dark caramel. There's a depth of flavor that I love. On the palate a slightly brighter fruit starts to shine through. Strawberry pie, orange marmalade and black tea are the initial notes on the palate. The brighter note turns warm raisin bread and steamed pudding as it moves to the back palate. The addition of some older barrel to batch 002 flash here. It peaks with dried fruit as it moves to the memorable spicy notes. Even on the back palate there's still no hint of the 122.6 proof. The finish is long. oak spice, melon and more tea dance around.
