I’ve been waiting for a few months for my local liquor store to get this in as one of their store picks. It came in a week or so ago, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised.
The nose offers some light fruity/flowery notes. The palate is very smooth with summer fruits, some honey/toffee, and cream, that coats the tongue and provides a nice mouth feel and tongue tingle. For a non-age-statement scotch the finish is better than you might expect. It lingers for a while then fades away with notes of honey, sherbet lemon, spices, and malted cookies. It can take a little water, but I really like the tongue tingle, so have been drinking neat. At $36 this punches well above its weight, and I will definitely buy another bottle. Great summer scotch.
