Nose: Vanilla, banana custard and cereal.
Palate: The vanilla and banana custard from the nose immediately deliver on the palate. Green apple makes an appearance a few seconds later ending with a spicy pepper note and a touch of candy cinnamon heat.
Finish: Slightly waxy, pepper, candy cinnamon and ginger. Medium length.
I can definitely see this as a scotch that would appeal to bourbon drinkers since it has a similar intense flavor experience that you would get from a bourbon, just without the corn driven sweetness.
Distller really needs to re-evaluate this one because it's way better than a 77! It has a solid craft presentation; 46.3% ABV, un-chillfiltered and I believe the color is natural as well. This is a great little single malt for the price and I would take this over most other scotches in this price range.

@Ctrexman The 12 year has yet to make an appearance in my area, but I'll definitely pick up a couple of bottles when it does
Agreed great value scotch. Love the 12 yr too
