The mixture of exotic honey notes in this whiskey is impressive: honeyed biscuits on the nose, buckwheat honey in the palate, drying honeycomb on the finish. It's think, full flavored, and a delight for someone looking for an earthy, herbal dram. The nose has compliments of buttery pine nuts, almonds, vanilla, and hay. In the palate, there's rich body which is full and chewy laden with notes of biscuits, loads of dried apricots, walnuts, and more vanilla. The finish has a nice, prickly spice character to it, a bit of dry wine, and stewed vegetables. Still, hovering over it all, is that honey--made all the more impressive given the viscous and full flavor of this whiskey.
