N: Dusty and musty fruit - not pleasant. Caramel, vanilla, ethanol. Super thin citrus and tropical fruit. Some sour fruit, more ethanol.
P: Thin and watery. Vanilla and caramel. Vague fruitiness. Some bread notes. Oak bitterness. Some heat, cinnamon, baking spice on the finish, but short lived.
This is one of the saddest whiskies I've had. It has little character and no body and tries to hide that behind a little bit of oak heat and bitterness on the finish. But nothing comes before it. This only fools the newest of new to the whisky world. It's not undrinkable per se, but it's a hard pass. And also a terrible value, since there are plenty of pretty damn good scotches in the $30-40 range.
