This is a nice whiskey. When I first opened the bottle it was a little tight and boring but it’s become more interesting as it’s opened up. On the nose I get vanilla, caramel, hay, lychee, and macadamia nuts. On the palate there’s modeling clay, papaya, marzipan, chewy caramels, sweet honeysuckle and light herbal notes. The finish is oily and medium in length with more modeling clay and marzipan that lingers. It’s not mind blowing but it’s really nice. It has become a whiskey that I turn to at the beginning of an evening when I’m planning to do a tasting flight. It has complexity and balance that helps warm up my palate without overloading my taste buds.
