Picked this up for st patrick's day and after some rave reviews from Telex and Malt Muser on their tuesday show. Lets jump in.
Nose - Fruity orchard fruits, bubble gum, light malt and bread notes, twinge of red fruits, nearing the level of chocolate but perhaps white chocolate. There's an almost icing meats glue thing going on in the back transitioning to light toasted oak.
Taste - Juicy fruit bubble gum transitioning to tropical fruits. There's vanilla and oak, sugary almost fast food bun notes, and perhaps some berries and cream.
Finish - nice toasted oak and a light spice.
Overall for 56 bucks you can't really beat this, unless you grab a powers 12 year.
1.5 score here. A bit below the average whisky I'd buy but I'm more than happy with the price to value. Ultimately, it's a bit boring and will be my go to pour until it is gone. I don't want to waste space with it but I'm enjoying every pour more than enough to go back to it.
Edit going 2.0. It's a nicer better whisky than I thought. The hype hurt it for me and the price didn't help. But yeah I'm happy with this as a cheap really tasty bottle.
