Defiant American Single Malt Whisky

This is my personal favourite whisky it's wonderfully sweet, smooth, and mellow it personally to me tastes somewhat like a toasted marshmallow or crème brulé very butterscotch and vanilla so good

Was told it was reminiscent of Scotch. While the recipe echos that claim, the taste lacks the smokiness and depth of a good Scotch. A bit sweeter than expected as well. It’s unique, I think, but not great.

Tasted at room temperature / Norlan glass / no water or ice added. 82 proof. The nose is honey, vanilla, and orange peel, and far exceeded my expectations. There's a bit of alcohol in the nose as well, but I suspect that has dissipated since I first got this bottle as it has been open for some time prior to this tasting. On the palate its an entirely different whiskey, coming across as hot, young, and rough-edged. If you let it move around your mouth fully, you will get some maltiness to offset the alcohol you're first confronted with. Kind of hard to isolate flavor profiles here. Aside from malt, maybe a little citrus? The finish is respectable mid-tongue, but non-existent throughout the rest of the palate. What does linger is an enjoyable orange-vanilla.

Butterscotch and oak.

Lots of vanilla on the nose with some underlying flowery scent. Spicy/black pepper taste after the initial sip with some light peat that fades into a flowery taste (like a rose). Quite a pleasant experience.
