Nice little "budget" 18 year old. Nose - A mix of some funk, oak, and citrus peat bog. Really interesting nose, I'm not sure what is going on here. It has an almost meaty umami thing mixing with apricot fruits and some smoke over wax. Taste - Citrus, tea, smoke, oak, and then this amazing rich smokey and charred oak finish. What a delightful and unexpected whisky given the low prices, I had ZERO expectations here. Really rich, vibrant, and yeah look...this has some competing notes. Is the citrus, smoke and funk all playing nicely? Nah...it's a bit disjointed. The mouth feel is great on the finish but it could be better up front. I can see where you'll get some weird notes, and this will likely not do well after certain food So yeah not a perfect whisky, but it's a dang fun and complex whisky. It's reasonably priced and I think I'd buy it again. 3.0
