The nose is orange eucalyptus mint tea. Caramel. Polished wood. It's the kind of nose that doesn't rush you to take a sip. Pause and enjoy. The palate has a lot of spice from the jump. Cinnamon, clove, then caramelized orange, vanilla. The finish is sweet and woody. A little mint. Great whiskey, attractive bottle, very well-priced. What's not to like?
