Nose: Now that's unique! The best words I can use to describe the nose are something like "full", "thick", or "dense". It fills the air around the glass as well. Seeing as there's no alcohol burn whatsoever, it's easy to pick out huge amounts of floral fragrance and something like candied/stewed plums. This might work just as well as a perfume as it does for a whiskey - loads of flowers and plums!
Palate: Thick and sweet! A lot like the plum jam I made a few weeks ago, but without the tartness. Reminds me a bit of cotton candy, but with a fruity and floral accent. Somewhere there's a slight hint of something spicy, but it's so fleeting I can't quite pin it down. There's something vegetal about it as well, like some sencha in a way.
Finish: Relatively short and simple, mostly a fruit syrup with a hint of straw.
Conclusion: I do love floral whiskies, but this may actually be a bit overboard, I honestly wouldn't think twice about it if someone told me it was my grandma's perfume.
