A Stressful day at work and what now appears will be consuming my weekend. Ahh, but a momentary pause from the chaos (KAOS) of work; so I grab a sample from the group the @LeeEvolved has presented.
The nose is floral with damp saw dust. Throw in some apple crumb pie with some vanilla cream soda. A nutty aroma comes through, though faintly, and after a good deal of time. The nose is quite enjoyable and simply soothing.
The palate receives a thin bodied spirit. A flash of vanilla sweetness that gives way to a peppery spiciness. A bit of lemon zest come through, and as it fades with a bit of ground cinnamon. Fades, warmingly.
A short finish of lemon oil, wood drying oak tannins.
A fine, unassuming whisky that is a good everyday-er. It’s not going to wow, but it will not disappoint, especially the price. [83/100][Tasted: 1/26/18]

Captured it precisely (well, as far as I can remember). Great review.
