A sample from dthom as part of the "Whiskey transfer program". Nose: Sweet vanilla and honey notes with quite a bit of oak on the nose. As this sat in the glass I started to get toasted nuts and dried fruits like figs and dates. Just the lightest hint of sea air like one would get from an Islay Scotch in the background. Flavor: Very sweet with dark sugars and musty wood. Heavy ethanol burn. Not as complex as the nose would suggest. Finish: Drying and spicy leading in to a bone dry oak finish. Medium long. I thought this was ok. I wouldn't seek it out but it wasn't bad either. Very interesting nose but a very bland taste and finish. Sort of like this was almost special and just fell short.
