Tasting Notes
"It seems these whiskies are still trying to find their voice. The right elements are there - it's creamy, with some pleasing nutty flavors, vanilla and that lovely waxiness Speyside Scotches tend to possess. However, it could use some more gusto to really take control of the mike, even at this higher proof. This would make a decent aperitif dram or something to sip on when lighter styles fit the bill."
