I purchased this one for our little tasting group. This is one that you don’t find often on shelves and must say my interest was somewhat piqued.
A fruity nose: apples, pears and apricots. Notes of toasted marshmallows, honeysuckle, heather, barley sugar, toffee.
Medium-weight body that arrives initially spicy of black pepper. Cream soda. Lemon zest, orange creamsicle. Small traces of milk chocolate are sprinkled in the recesses.
This leaves the palate with black pepper, orange bitters, oak, ginger and a hint of char.
A nice, straight forward whisky that’s easy to enjoy. A robust and inviting nose but delivers diluted flavors. The good flavors are there, but not with any emphasis. A bit more maturity would do this one well. A nice whisky and may be a good summer sipper. [$50][85/100][Tasted: 2/17/18]
