Delicate nose at first, with lots of light fruity notes, and some lemon citrus as well. Then you find a bit of vanilla and wood char, which I would imagine could be attributed to the American Oak barrels. The expert review mentioned ginger and I have to say I’m super impressed because it took me a long while to hunt for that note but it is there for sure, if you look deep. Ironically as soon as I found the ginger note I lost that charred note and was left with those sweet fruity notes again. This whiskey has a lot going on for a lowland, but it’s never aggressive. For the price, I’d highly recommend it.
