Garryana 7th Edition
N: Sometimes you have to hunt for the nose on a whiskey. This is not one of those! Big floralness followed by some oakiness. I wouldn't be able to tell you what this was from the nose. I'd probably settle on whiskey or whiskey adjacent but it is so different from most other spirits I own. If you have the time, just spend 5-10 minutes with your nose in the Glencairn absorbing this. It's starting to reveal itself as an American Single Malt after about 10 minutes.
P: This hits your tongue with very bright notes and then settles into a lovely vanilla coated maltiness. I'm not going to be able to do it justice. I'm curious if more of my favorite Scotches would have this kind of taste explosion if they were around 100 proof. All of the flavors are rounded off really nicely. This is a great example of what is possible with American Single Malt. If you like Highland Scotch and like the thought of dialing it up to 11, rounding off any rough edges, and then having the finish hang around, I implore you to find a pour of this. Baking spices with cinnamon highlights are revealing themselves after giving this time to open up.
F: Medium to long going floral and then cinnamon on the exhale. Excellent, oily mouthfeel as well.
