I get caramel on the nose, maybe even a little butterscotch. Perhaps a bit of damp cereal grains, almost oats. On the palate I get caramel and cream. Pears, particularly pear skin. Mild lemony notes reminiscent of lemon extract. Freshly cut green grass. Damp, musty, mild wood. There are spicy wood notes in the finish that hint at cedar and ground ginger. The mouth feel is layered and creamy. This is a very refreshing whiskey- it's reminds me of early spring - damp, fresh, but still a bit cool. All in all, this is refreshing and inoffensive(in a good way). This would be a pretty reasonable dram to share with someone who might otherwise find whiskey intimidating. It's pleasant, it's got a nice amount of complexity, but still falls in the safe and accessible portion of the spectrum. I can enjoy this, despite my general flavor preferences being coastal and peated malts.
