I finally found some quiet moments this weekend allowing me to really sit to experience the dram. Unfortunately, finding pensive moments seems to getting tougher. But, if you are able to find a dram and a moment, grab the opportunity. (Thank you Pranay for that opportunity). A lightly golden liquid holds within it a nose that is floral light with a marine brine quality accompanied with a bit of malt, honey, green tea, orange citrus, and lightly toasted marshmallows. Thoroughly inviting, enticing you to the next level of the experience: the taste. An initial blast of heat and spice, which takes you by surprise given the gentleness of the nose. Once past the blast, a clean and light body delivers a sweet touch of vanilla and butterscotch which is countered with by fresh ginger, brine, oak and orange zest. Slowly, given the time, the butterscotch sweetness strengthens. A dynamic and lively body. This dance eventually ends and leaves and long and dry mouth tingling with white pepper, ginger and orange coated, lightly, with butterscotch. An eloquent and well crafted whisky. Enjoyable and sophisticatedly pleasant. The thin body makes it seemingly simple, however there is a great deal happening. Ideal as summer sipper on a back porch watching a slow sunset (at least what I envision). [Dry glass: Sawdust][90/100][Tasted: 1/22/17]
