Lots of alcohol, some oak. Not much fruit, and that which is there tastes honeyed. Some cinnamon and butterscotch as well. Too young - needs another 10+ years in cask, if not 20. Could be great some day.
Score: 91 points. Seriously, stop bottling this stuff and give it at least 10 more years in wood.
