I got caught up in the current momentum of the recent sampling amongst our group of this dram. I had to go ahead and pour this for a tasting. The feedback seemed generally positive, but tasting for oneself is the true test. Floral and honey nose primarily. Honeysuckle on a warm spring day. Traces of sherry with walnuts, apples, dried apricots, vanilla cream soda, banana bread. A fairly full nose. An extremely thin but velvety arrival. A sweet dram, it is. Butterscotch and brown sugar sweetness. Arnold Palmer (lemonade and sweet tea) flavors arrive as the dram delivers the final flavors towards the finish. A short finish of lemon zest, white pepper, bakers chocolate with some barrel char. I had my doubts about this whisky. The low cost, the packaging (just a bottle, not boxes or tins). Much to my pleasant surprise, this is an enjoyable, easy, sweet sipper. It will not blow your doors off, no. But you will enjoy this. Easy on the nose, palate and wallet. [84/100][Tasted: 2/24/18]
