A bit of a classic!!
Don’t be a hater, it’s priced very well for what it is.
Nose:
Dehydrated pears and green apples
Nice clean cereal notes
Soft oak vanilla
Classic oak woodyness (sorry I know that’s not a word)
A bit of darker musky honey as it sits
Arrival:
Mid sweet sugar on the tongue
Pleasant malt grain
A little baking spice like nutmeg and cinnamon
Development:
Delicious wood tannins like black tea and cloves
Black pepper
A little spent match (only a hint)
Finish:
Refreshing and dry
More of that wood note snipping off the finish quite shortly
There’s a sneaky macallan 12 doublewood hint at the end (wet popsicle stick)
A must have on the shelf. Don’t be afraid to share it and enjoy conversation with friends without the distraction of a complicated scotch.
