2024 Advent #2. Some vanilla from the oak comes through, but overall, the heat makes it tough to pick up on any subtle notes.

Honey, drying spices. This is young whisky hiding behind some cask finish. It’s not terrible, but it must have been stuck in young bourbon or virgin oak because the harshness of the oak makes this hard to drink (even for me). I like the honey note and some spice, but ultimately, i think this needs more time in the cask - or more char on the barrel. That said, it was 50% off when I bought it and at 45, you pull the trigger every time.
