I’ve visited the distillery a few years back and enjoyed the whiskey there, but hadn’t really had it since. Interested to see how I like it now that I know a lot more about whiskey.
The nose has Light chocolate, a weird sour sort of wet hot hay note, and sweet vanilla
The palate has an oily mouthfeel, but is overpowered by an off putting sour hot hat note that I got in the nose. I’m going to attribute this to it being a single malt. It’s also on the sweeter side.
The finish is medium in length with lingering grassy notes.
I’ll be honest, I really did not enjoy this one. I’m definitely a bourbon guy, so single malts like this one are off profile for me. I do enjoy some Scotch, but this one just isn’t for me.

@BDanner I agree. It’s romanticized and you can smell all of the angel’s share, which adds to the experience.
I don’t know about everyone else, but whiskey always tastes better at the distillery. I guess something to do with mood?
