(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual American Whiskey Tasting, 05 February 2022). Nose: Fruit (apricot & peach), strong dry oak, allspice, cloves, black pepper. Hints of grapefruit and forest floor earthiness Palate: Crème brûlée, caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, char, menthol, dill pickle. A lovely 'chewy' mouthfeel. Finish: Medium long finish. Charred, ashy, leather. Wood forest, slightly dirty/earthy note. Caramel and menthol. Lots of rye notes evident. There is a sweetness and intensity to this dram. The main note is the wood - it has a huge hit of oak and vanilla, but strangely drying (particularly on the finish). Unctuous and oily on the palate, leathery and woody dryness on the finish. Came second out of the six drams, with 24% of the final vote for favourite of the night. 88% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky.
