Nose: butter, cream, slight vanilla, barest hint of fruit - apple or pear Pallet: butter cream, butter cookies, shortbread cookies. A slight breast taste comes in later. Finish: shortbread cookies with a very mild alcohol burn, more of a warming really. This whiskey is not complex nor amazing, but it is really enjoyable. It’s friendly and mild with no surprises, nothing unpleasant. It might be a bit boring for some people but there’s really nothing to dislike.
