I first reviewed this 5 years ago with no Glencairn. Stopped at the ABC Store on the way home just to see what tickled my fancy, and this was it. Let's see what I think of it now... NOSE: Delicate. Leather, Dried Apricot, Black Pepper, Toasted Marshmallow, Spicy Oak, with a little Ethanol Heat. With time and patience you are also rewarded with light Orange Zest and Polished Oak. NEAT: Again, Delicate. Light, Thin and Slightly Oily Mouthfeel. A general Vanilla Sweetness, Leather, Oak, and Orange Zest. Not much (if any) heat on the short finish leaving some Sweet Oak and Black Pepper Tingle coating the palate. SPLASH: Added just a drop or two of water. It does open the nose somewhat, adding some Floral and Dubble Bubble Bubblegum to the nose. The palate, however becomes pretty one dimensional with Vanilla/Maple Sweetness. It actually ups the Black Pepper on the finish, which is nice. VERDICT: I have a soft spot for this one (along with Maker's) because when I got into whisky, family and friends gifted me this a lot due to the fancy recognizable bottle. I purposely didn't reread my original review until I was finished, but they are pretty similar. Delicate, not a lot of complexity, but overall a decent pour. As I'm writing this, I am enjoying a generous pour of this over a large cube and might I say, it is very enjoyable. Just pure sugary goodness. This would be an excellent light summer bourbon to enjoy on the rocks when you are just hanging out. It gets dinged a little by it's $35 price tag, but for an uncomplicated drink to enjoy while reading, watching TV with TWTWIRBM, etc. you could do much worse.
