Light smell but gentle and smooth taste. Slightly fruity

Nice clean nose, not a complex whiskey. Easy to drink.

This will always be a five for me. Maybe it’s not perfect, but it has too many of my favorite memories connected with it. Sweet on the nose: caramelized sugar, chocolate, honey, and some weird creamed corn thing (there’s a first time for everything) Taste is the bomb. Sweet, soft (is that a thing??), there’s the sugar again, and a finish of hot chocolate powder. Divine.

Lacks the finesse, the taste is full, yet too harsh. Rather pleasant on the nose though.

This is called a NAS whisky but the packaging has distillation and bottling years, I can presume that mine is a 5 year old expression. I've seen 7 year bottles in bars though. This smells its age. Very grassy and green, lemon, ginger, followed by an earthy/spicy quality like cedar. None of the rounded, cakey qualities of older expressions. Dry entry, black pepper, lemon zest, mineral water, green apples. Finish is clean, herbal, savory. This is an interesting example of unique qualities that young whisky has. Very bright, astringent, but in an appealing way.

Nose: malt, vanilla, caramel Palate: pepper, sweet fruit, Kakao Finish: long, sweet, bit of pepper
