Beautiful nose with forward oak and vanilla. Sweet and inviting but in a more subtle way than other bourbons that advertise their honey-vanilla characteristics loudly. Mouth-feel is deliciously creamy. A blunt oak opening reveals light rye spice and a slight malty flavour that waffles to the back palate. Due to its higher wheat content, the overall character is more medicinal-sweet than spicy. Finish hints at a little wood but doesnt linger, giving the dram a light, refreshing quality. A perfectly pleasant, drinkable gateway drug for the un-initiated into the wonders of whisky, but one that perhaps lacks character and depth.
