Nose - Lightly grassy vanilla, vanilla frosting, lemon yogurt, lemon curd, very floral
Taste - Lightly spicy/warm, grassy vanilla frosting sweet, lemon curd/zest, coconut, glaze on donuts
Finish - Lingering grassy vanilla sweet, gentle warmth, creamy mouthfeel like from a coconut cream, light ginger spice, lemon curd
Score - 88/100
Final Thoughts - This was quite an interesting one. It had a very grassy, floral, vanilla frosting vibe to it throughout which I think would be a good intro to someone who doesn't necessarily like whisky, but loves desserts. I think this might hold up well in a highball as a good intro drink as it's nice & subtle, but flavorful at the same time. I can definitely see how this might be polarizing to some as the grassy aspect is very prominent, but I quite enjoy it. There's this light lemon zest/curd aspect throughout that gets a bit artificial, but I don't mind it too much. I don't think this is something I'd drink everyday, but it's very spring/summery and has nice bright/refreshing notes to it.
Would I drink it if offered? - Yes
Would I specifically order it? - Maybe
Would I buy a bottle? - If it was priced around $40 USD
