The nose is appealing, with the usual hints of oak, vanilla and some char. On the palate, we were struck by the very light flavor of a young, toddler-like whiskey. Not a lot of heft or body, and the flavor sings with only one mid-range note. Some tinges of maple, black pepper, and cinnamon tease the tongue, while the finish has a slightly bitter tannic edge. A perfectly serviceable spirit which will work well in a Mint Julep or a highball. We’d be interested to see how it would fare under longer aging.
