Tasting Notes
"There is a strong initial whiff of something chemical, like Elmer's Glue, which quickly vanishes and gives way to a near overpowering sweetness. Toffee, vanilla, and artificial maple syrup all carry from the nose directly to the taste. Despite heavy flavors, it's a very light whisky. Fruity, floral notes lurk beneath the sweetness, along with a faint hint of oak and grass and dark chocolate. Nothing sticks around to produce a finish. This is a casual sipper that would be well-suited by the addition of cola or other mixer. "
