Nose... Bananas, nuts, leather, and brown sugar.... Appearance...Dark amber to light copper... Taste... Buttery, smooth, creamy and salty. Followed by a slight hint of ethanol, then pears and oats... Overall... For the proof it's undeniably smooth and easy drinking. I always drink neat and this was very much like dessert in a glass. It's gentle wheat helps make this whisky a nice opener to those getting introduced into the wheaters....
