Nose

Whispers of pineapple, peach and toasted almonds, but also some sweet pastries and apricots. It's a bit dense, and time helps, but this might benefit from some water also. It highlights notes of butterscotch and cereals. But quite a bit of oak too.

Palate

It definitely has a fruity DNA. Tropical fruits like pineapple, mango and also plums. But also sweetness from fudge and toffee. But the oak is once again omnipresent. There's nutmeg and cloves, as well as some acidic tannins, if that makes sense. Water brings out an herbacious side that's quite attractive.

Finish

Hints of licorice, dark chocolate and drying oak. Long.

Overall Notes

Maybe not an easy whiskey per se, but the butterscotch fruitiness is memorable and really goes down well.
