The nose is loaded in oak and peppery notes mixed with the sweetness of vanilla and butterscotch. The palate is sweeter and loses most of the oakiness. Vanilla, honey, fig, and apricot infiltrate the roof of the mouth and coat the tongue. Disappointingly, the finish is rather fleeting with nothing really hanging around to trigger a salivating event and the want for the next sip. If you like your whiskey experience to be short and sweet, than this is the bottle for you, but if you enjoy a lasting complex finish than seek other options. At $80, this is a one and done as there are so many more better whiskeys at this price point to invest in. Overall: Nose - 3/5 Taste: 3/5 Overall: 3/5 Repurchase: No Type: Friday Night Pour
