This Yellow Spot is easy on the nose with soft scents of dried fruit and a hard to specify 'sweetness'. Not exactly honeysuckle or vanilla but not too far off of those...definitely a little floral. The taste is amped up a bit by the alcohol. There is a little sharpness from the 96 proof whiskey but the flavors that settle out are pretty close to the nose. There is a little more vanilla, maybe a little (very little) oak with a touch of sherry sweetness. The flavors don't linger, however...leaving me reaching for more.
