Nose is almost entirely rubbing alcohol with just a bit of fruit. Luckily the palate brings more to the party, with a creamy vanilla and round fruitiness. Moderately sweet, medium finish with the tiniest bit of salt as it lingers, which leaves you wanting the next sip. A splash of water dulls the astringent nose and smooths out the vanilla nicely. A nice one to add to the collection, but not a regular sipping whisky. Definitely going to try it in cocktails, should make a nice Manhattan.
