Aroma has a distinct maple syrup note (similar to the 7 Year 2005) and also a bit of alcohol. (The 8 Year does have a slightly higher ABV - 43 versus 42 in both of the 2007s). Flavor opens with a peppery spice that is softened a bit with fruit sweetness (apple, pear). The spicy finish lingers for a medium to long time. 12/24/2018 - 6th Annual Xmas XA tasting
