Smell: Peppermint and bubblegum are the main notes I get from the nose. There is a light grass/hay note in there too. Some caramel, baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg) and vanilla extract. Green apple skin and light chlorine. Taste: Caramel and baking spices are on the forefront in the taste as well as the vanilla extract. The peppermint and bubblegum are still there but not as strong. The hay is barely there. Surprisingly decently strong flavors for 40% ABV. Finish: Light milk chocolate, almonds, cinnamon, peppermint. Some light green apple juice. Decently long again for the ABV. Mouthfeel: Medium to light, but it's impressive it's not completely watery considering the minimum proof. Some oiliness. Overall: For the price, this is quite a surprisingly decent whisky. It's got good flavors and intensity, it's a little complex and it drinks easily. A great everyday whisky. I did notice it benefited quite a bit from breathing a little bit. The first glass of the bottle was nowhere near as good as this one (beginning of the second half of the bottle).
