Nose: Refreshingly malty forward with some graham cracker, dark caramel, and a bit of something spicy. Maybe a small amount of orange peel the second time in, though that graham cracker, malt, cinnamon note is definitely still the dominating scent.
Palate: Cool and sweet on the tongue. Vanilla biscotti, and butterscotch. A nice amount of oak and spice at the end. Reminds me of cinnamon graham crackers with vanilla buttercream frosting. There's also something in there that reminds me of toasted coconut.
Finish: Long and mouthwatering. Oatmeal and malt notes last and last after the spice fades. Much of the initial sweetness and spices fade really quickly, though graham cracker crumbs linger for longer than it takes to type this review.
Conclusion: I would not consider this a complex whiskey in any way, but what it does present is nice and balanced. Delicious cinnamon graham cracker and malt dominate every aspect of this. A great cheap pour for when you just want to relax and not think too hard about what's in the glass. Easy, drinkable, affordable.
