Highland Park Dark Origins

I think I got this one for Aaron for Valentines day and we're just now cracking it open. I've forgotten everything about it so hold onto your butts. I think it'll be good because it has a picture of the Gray Fox on the front.

Alcohol Content: 46.8%
Price: Don't remember
Method: Neat
Nose: Smells strong and sweet. Almost obnoxious. Like how I imagine a distillery would smell but only probably distilleries smell like nothing due to health code.
Color: Smokey Orange
Taste: Omg this is weird. It tastes flat, I don't know how else to describe that. Kind of like how honey feels in the mouth. Coating and thick and omg the flavor is everywhere.
0 sting though. I expected it to sting pretty bad with the alcohol content.
Finish: Tastes like sucking on a popsicle too long and you get that wood flavor.
Notes: Whoah, this doesn't taste like it smells. I woulda given it 90 if it had been what I expected but this tasted like something completely different. It's not bad it's just deceptive. As it is I'm happy with it but it's not my favorite.
Score: 80/100
