I smell leather and some thinner with some sweetness. Taste not really complexe. Taste like butterscotch/caramel and creamy a little bit of spice and can taste the grapes in the background. Also have a solvent taste that weird. The finish fade quickly except for the butterscotch. If you enjoy really sweet whisky this is for you, but it a little too much for me. For the price not bad but not impressed. Probably won't buy it again, but wouldn't turn down if someone offer me a pour. 99 was the GOAT of hockey, but is whisky is subpar.
