Visually this dram is so pale I thought perhaps the Americans forgot to actually char or use the bourbon barrel. ๐
If I didnโt know what I just poured I would have bet money this was an Irish on the nose. Lots of fruit, like when you just peel back the tin lid of a can of Del Monte fruit cocktail. Usually the ethanol fades with time but this is the opposite.. the fruit gives way to malt and alcohol. Quite shiny too.
Palate is initially sweet and shows some single malt highland character. Lots of cereal and a decent amount of spice all while staying quite light and refreshing. This is serendipitous however, as that light and playful palate is rather thin and fairly one dimensional.
There isnโt much of a finish, but the best way I can describe it is like a dry white wine with just a hint of barrel wood.
This is good, but not remarkable in any way and as their entry level it probably doesnโt need to be. If your reading this you have undoubtedly already tasted many scotches like this before.
