Nose: The initial whiff you get is like sweet baked good. Like butter pound cake. The more time you spend with it, you start to get cooked fruit notes. Banana fritters is what comes to mind with some citrus zest to round off the nose. Taste: a really short sip gives me some pine nuts, with some oak spice. A really short burst of smoke that it quite faint. There is also something minty about it, almost like the edge off of a kombucha drink. There’s a round sweetness to it, dark bitter chocolate. Mouthfeel: it’s got this creamy mildly oily feel to it. If you keep sipping it, you get a peppery spice that shows up, but if you sit and sip it occasionally, there isn’t too much there that stands out. There isn’t a ton of heat that lingers. It’s a solid dram that doesn’t give me the fruity raisiny flavors that I’m used to in a non islay single malt.. it’s definitely worth checking out and trying. Not sure that I’d buy the bottle again, unless I was looking for something cheap to up on. I’d rather sip on this as a cheap bottle than a cheap bottle of bourbon.
