a nice complex but easy going whisky. on the nose, i initially get spicy and strong alcoholic smell, but it quickly fades and becomes this sweet fruity smell, i get mostly pear. once you dive in, first taste is very much what you get on the nose after the initial burn, just sweet and fruity. but right afterwards, the spice kicks, and you can really feel the burn. it's not unpleasant but it's a bit unexpected after the first fruity taste. the aftertaste almost reminds me of gin & tonic with hibiscus tea, it's kind of like this herbal tea taste with the bitterness from the tonic. a surprisingly complex whisky but once you get into it it's very to be pouring doses without noticing it.
