Well, this is lovely stuff. Not life changing, not revelatory, but a nicely balanced bit of whisky. The nose is a bit of dried fruit, a bit nutty, and a bit citrusy, and a bit caramely - there seems to be some varied cask selection here, but it works. The palate, while a bit lacking in the flash department, is equally well balanced and friendly. You'll find most of what's on the nose on your tongue, along with the tiniest hint of wood smoke and a surprising coconut note at the finish. While initially short-seeming, the finish comes with a persistent plumminess that doesn't fully fade away for quite awhile. Yet another Flora and Fauna bottling that merits wider production and distribution!
