Dark copper color. Aromas of cinnamon, allspice, molasses, black tea, sarsaparilla, and dark chocolate with a round, crisp, dryish medium-full body and a complex, long buttered black bread and pineapple chutney finish. A brawny, memorable Single Malt with a lively melange of tropical flavors; a must-try.
