The nose is a potpourri of green apple, caramel, cinnamon, vanilla and an odd-man out, rubber (cannot surely identify). Arrives with some sweetness of brown sugar wrapped in a medium body. As you explore, hints of, oddly, again, fresh cucumber notes on the palate can be found (at least for me). A lovely finish with a tad of smoke paired with pepper spice. A unique whisky I tasted with a food pairing of Roulade of Sole, charred haricot vert, "French onion" crostini almond and smoke apple. Very enjoyable. [86/100][Tasted: 1/31/16 @ Eat Mosaic]
