Recently found this dusty, old bottle near a job site in Oceanside, CA.
Neck pour.
Neat, this is a challenging whiskey to enjoy.
Honey, a camphor like note and slight peat on the nose, not much else.
Thick, oily and medicinal palate with a slight, smokey, honey note.
Finish is long with a semisweet, eucalyptus type note.
Hope this gets better with time open.
Edit: That didn’t take long. One day open, nice vanilla and lemon notes added to the nose and palate. Upped the score 1/4 point.
Edit: 3 months open have tamed the wild beast, mellowing the nose and palate. Bumped another 1/4 point.
