The nose is pretty sweet and desert like. There is a vanilla extract scent, milk chocolate and strawberry shortcake. Flavor is complex but yet very balanced. The whiskey is very well put together. It has an elegant side to it for sure and very intriguing due to all the different time in the 4 different casks. Sweet sugar cookies with vanilla icing is the most common flavor I get. I get an assortment of fruit jams on the palate after the initial sweetness. Finish is medium length only but adds a little baking spices like cinnamon and clove which are pretty subtle. Very friendly whiskey.
