Nose: Dark brown sugar and the typical roasted oak notes dominate. Then, there is some caramel, vanilla, light coconut and cheap maraschino cherries. Some light ethanol and floral notes give it a light varnish-like smell (which combined with the burnt notes can be somewhat interpreted as light rubber). T: The dark brown sugar dominates the taste with strong oak char notes that end up being molasse-like. A bit less vanilla than in the smell but a deep toffee is also there with some floral notes. Cheap maraschino cherries are still there. There is a light saltiness that combined with the char notes and caramel end up being slightly peanut-y, which I really love. Light ethanol, not as varnish-like as in the smell. Mouthfeel: Medium to light Finish: Dry with charred oak, peanuts, orange peel (zest and pith), pepper and cinnamon. Medium in length and is my favorite part of this whisky. This is a weird one. I try to be objective with my score and I know there are obvious flaws in this whisky, but I do enjoy it quite a bit more than the score might indicate. A great every day sipper.
