The eve before Thanksgiving day. Sitting with the wife watching what is our Thanksgiving Eve tradition of watching “Planes, Trains and Automobiles”, which we have done forever and a half. A sample from @PBMichiganWolverine us the sample du jour. Sitting back and will slowly take this sample in. The color is almost clear; like sunflower oil. Subtle fruity nose of apples and pears. Vanilla, honey and butterscotch provide a gentle sweetness. A nuttiness hides in the background of walnuts and almonds. This one arrives simultaneously sugary sweet and spicy. The body’s medium dense and oily. White sugar syrup doused over a fruity bowl of apples, pears and oranges. Throw in some black pepper and cinnamon for the spicy kick. As it begins to fade, a cereal quality (Raisin Bran) comes forward. The finish is oranges and light brown sugar and vanilla. A cinnamon spice tinge on the tongue dances briefly on the tongue for the last few seconds. Finally, the palate is slightly woody dry. A decent offering that provides a sweeter dram with a dash of spice. It feels slightly young though it’s a relative old man at twenty; almost feels half the age. Middle of the road whisky. Won’t offend, but won’t provide any true memorable quality. [82/100][Tasted: 11/2 1/18]
