The nose on this is thick, heavy…AMAZING. Lots of oak, dark fruits, baking spices, malt funk…and Im getting a similar cola note like on Bull Run and Westward S/M’s out of Oregon. The flavors are very rich and oily. That same dark fruit/cola/oaky goodness but I also get a finish that reminds me of an Irish pot still, cranked up a couple notches. EXCELLENT whisky!
