A totally pleasant whiskey, enjoyable, but not super exciting. The aroma is mostly malt and vanilla, which is mirrored on the palate initially along with strong honey sweetness, followed by a strong herbal/vegetal flavor, almost peppery. This note carries over strongly into the finish, which is fairly long. Overall, I would be happy to drink this if offered, and would even enjoy it as a gift, but it isn't quite interesting enough to buy again unless it was a great sale.
