(neat, rock glass) Nose: sweet, fruity, some floral notes, very light oak. Balanced and evolves as it opens. Palate: velvety and smooth, balanced fruit, floral and woodiness throughout. Finish: a swift spiciness that fades into smooth sweetness that lingers a bit. Overall: a great all around whiskey that is well balanced leaning on sweetness and fruitiness. A very nice finish that leaves you coming back for more.
