I’ve heard it said that a good whisky will take you on a journey and leave you with the desire for another sip. This whisky checks that box for me. The first sip took me through a symphony of flavors and I spent the rest of the glass trying to figure out what I just tasted. Nose: Honey, heather, hay/grass, sweet malty notes, dried pineapple, pear, green apple, lemon, creme brûlée Palate: Salted caramel, honey, toffee, poached pear, spice, fig, raisin Finish: Caramel, spice (cinnamon and nutmeg)

I like this Sam I am. I like it on the rocks, I like it straight up, I like it as a highball and I like it with a splash of water!

I can’t believe I haven’t reviewed this yet. Poured neat in a Glencairn-adjacent glass and rested 10 or so minutes. Aroma is floral, herbal, and malty with hints of petroleum grease. Flavor is honey, toffee, and Belgian candi sugar, without being overtly sweet. Finish is slightly tart and a bit drying. One of the best for sure.

Goede starter
