Nose: Maple syrup, musty oak, a little vanilla. There is a nutty quality as well. Palate: Very sweet honey arrival. In the development it adds syrup notes, oak and some coffee, but little else. Finish: Medium/Short. Sweet. There is a jaw-clenching white sugar aftertaste. I don’t smell honey on this at all, but it is drenched in maple syrup. There is another aroma I can’t quite place - a nutty smell that I’ve also noticed on some cheap blended scotch whiskies. Weird. This is an odd concoction and much more like a whiskey liqueur than an actual whiskey. It’s not too unpleasant but it has little personality. I’m pleased to have tried it, but I can’t imagine I’d ever buy a bottle. Tasted from a 50ml distillery miniature. “Inferior” : 65/100 (1.5 stars)
