First pour from bottle. Immediate buttery sweet corn, vanilla, and some fruitiness. Nose opens up to darker caramel and more vanilla, orange, and baking spice. Late there is a touch of a milk cocoa note. Taste- Begins with a buttery, corn, morphing into some alcohol heat, vanilla to butter caramel, ending on sweet corn and chocolate notes and a moderate finish. Later tastes on this bottle which was a new open have been better with more opening up of the cocoa notes and more sweetness. There is a bit of nuance on this dram, although I would prefer some more punch behind the whiskey. Let this one breathe to have a unique chocolate whiskey experience.
