Tasting Notes

Nose

Sweetness hits you right away, more reminiscent of a bourbon than a barley-based whiskey like Scotch or Irish. Molasses, Fig Newtons, and buttery Chardonnay.

Palate

Oak flavors are also readily evident in the mouth, led by vanilla and caramelized sugar. I taste leather, which is somewhat surprising in a young single malt. Also shortbread cookies, French toast, and dates. The finish is long and honeyed.
