Nose
Chai and cinnamon spice that is light and airy rather than overpowering; floral quality reminiscent of a fall-scented candle; cherry and cinnamon notes with a hint of peanut shell and potpourri.
Palate
Assertive Ambarana character dominates with black licorice and molasses sweetness; cinnamon raisin toast and ginger spice build; buttery texture with some drying oak influence on the backend.
Finish
Dry and persistent with savory herbal notes of rosemary and thyme emerging over time; lingering ginger spice and a pronounced tannic dryness on the sides and back of the tongue.
Overall Score
3.9 / 5
A well-crafted Ambarana finish on older whiskey that layers exotic spice with savory complexity, though the finish dries considerably due to age and barrel influence.
