On the nose it's light fruit, the palate is full and chewy with vine-ripened peach, apricots, and some cinnamon and raisins. It finishes with a light warmth and maltiness. If you're looking for smoke, peat, or the briny sea you will not find it in this Texas single malt. It's overpriced in my opinion and at $60 I would rather have a Springbank 10 or Talisker 10.
