Really enjoyed this bottle in particular as it oxidized. It’s refreshing to have a scotch these days that’s not either a peat/smoke or sherry bomb.
The mouthfeel is very unique. The adjective I’ve seen most used to describe the distillery characteristic is ‘waxy’ and it took me some time to get that. The neck pour was a bit hot and I got something that coated my mouth but I wouldn’t have called it wax. The more I drank it the more I started getting a honey wax, like sucking a honeycomb.
It’s sweet and has elements of vanilla. It’s not too hot but has a light peppery element.
I’m interested in trying an IB of this to really explore the juice. I’ll buy this again to have something different in my cabinet.
