Nose:
oak and maple, theres a hint of fruity texture, caramel and butterscotch and vanilla. A little cinnamon trails in the background
-
Taste:
Good balance of oak and vanilla - some brown sugar and a fruity dash of woodiness sneaks in the background. Some heat, but not too much - just enough to remind you that its there. Odd bit of a banana note. Delicious.
-
Finish:
Medium to short - very oaky but not too much. Its well balanced with the sweetness of the dram. I notice the odd banana note sticks around but I dont mind it.
-
Overall:
In the end, this dram is delicious, inexpensive and sits well on my palate. I notice that this seems a little sweeter and a little fruitier (more banana) than the regular ER10 but it does shine in its uniqueness. I wont be giving this dram a full rank upgrade but I do like that this dram is unique without becoming mediocre. For this reason, Im giving it a Rank 5.
