Had to come back to this whiskey several times and each time was more enjoyable than the last. The first things I noticed on the nose were cereal and honey followed by cake frosting and a variety of fruit including red apples, a healthy amount of pears, and some very slight toasted coconut. A lot of the flavors on the nose translate really well into the palate with the cereal, apples, and pear coming through in that order leaving with a light fruity sweetness on the aftertaste . If I were to be nitpicky, I'd giving this a 4.5 with some points off for the rather short finish. A very sweet, friendly, and lovely whiskey which I'd give to beginners as their 2nd to 4th whisk(e)y if I am willing to put out the extra dollar ($45 where I live).
