Disclaimer: I am wheated bourbon guy and this is one of my first single malts so not my wheelhouse. Nose: The nose is approachable at the proof point. However, I could really only pick out oak. Would have liked more of the other notes to come through. Pallet: Drinks below its 114 proof. Smoke, Oak, Leather, Tobacco notes.*** Finish: I get KC15 vibes. It’s smooth by slightly dry, but this is nothing crazy. ***Added a few drops of water and got some sweetness like apricot and dried friut but mostly a smokey oaky flavor through and through. Update (one month later): Let the bottle sit and tried it again. Bottle has opened up very nicely. Flavor is a little more complex and slightly different than before. I still get those malt flavor but some more fruit flavor comes through with a hint of saltyness at the end. Drinks a little hotter than previously but still feels well below the 114. Overall, still not in my wheelhouse but unique and cool bottle to have.
