I think some reviewers are finding a lot more here than there is. This is a drop priced at entry level and as such I didn't expect a lot more than I got, which is maple corn and some spice with a modest ethanol bite. The mouthfeel is close to banal. The ethanol washes away the flavour at the end; not dry exactly, just uninspiring. The low abv doesn't help. This would be better in a cocktail. This was OK. It's cheap. It probably punches slightly above the weight class. I didn't hate it. But neither was I especially thrilled. The selling point of ageing in a cold climate isn't a dynamic influence on the dram. The complicated wood finishes leave a taste of... Wood. It's OK. No better than that. I didn't feel I'd been let down but I did hope for more.
