I found this to be a good whisky. On the nose this is a little dark, sweet, spicy. On the palate I get a little peat, spicy and warm. The finish lingers a bit, probably due to the higher ABV. I think this is a good whisky, but for the price (around $80) there's a lot of choices out there.
Nose:
Strong bourbon notes. Or is it sherry? The opening salvo of the nose reminds me of the intense caramel apple pie I get from Nikka Whisky from the barrel. All of this is enveloped in a Talisker-esque smoke that just adds layer of character to the liquid. The eclectic angles of attack from this whisky make it wonderfully complex.
Palate:
Full and mouth-filling caramel apple pie appear as a constant log of flavor, made possible by the high alcohol by volume. White pepper heat makes an appearance afterwards, again reinvoking Talisker. Then, milk chocolate appears towards the end that I usually get from Sherried scotch (although no Sherry was mentioned in the production of this one). Again, wonderfully complex
Finish:
Long and persisting notes of the caramel apple pie
Don't sleep on Indian single malts because they are brilliant
