So many good reviews after I hated that kentucky oak (at first, it grew to be ok) and never getting the love of the Lastu (spelled right?). But for 99 bucks in 2024 this felt ok. nose - And all fears leave me as a I get red breast kinda vanilla grainy earthy notes from those pot stills with light and not over the top PX. no over oaked elements to be seen! Taste - This is sweet sticky px goodness over redbreast. The balance of the two is also good. It's more redbreast than PX. Good mixed effect on the finish. Berry jam, toasted oak, toffee, light spices. I know I'm dragging on reviewing this as a redbreast and not trying to explain it as a whisky but I doubt anyone interested cares because they know what I mean when I say redbreast. I'll give this a 2.25. For the money at 100 add .5 stars. Remember i score more to a 4.0 scale so the points after that are EPIC. I think this is a great buy and I'm glad I got it. But there's no wow here. Just good solid whisky.
