Ok this is basically American scotch....and its pretty good. Poured neat, nose has malt and fruit with young wood like many a scotch. Little bit of spice and gummy bear notes. I would compare to a light highland scotch .....say a Glengoyne. Palate brings good malt with blast of apricot. Gentle baking spice and barrel complete the puzzle. Finish is medium short with the malty fruit/barrel fade. Im not getting real smoke notes , more like char. Overall its a solid effort. The flavors have decent depth but there is some youth to contend with. I do think I would purchase a bottle if the price was right(a friend gave me this 200ml)....80/100......tried the single cask as well and that was better as expected...3.25 stars
