It smells and tastes like a fine Speyside scotch, which is interesting. It's bright, fruity, and moderately rich. While Speyside isn't usually my preference, this would be a classic example if I were into it. It doesn't present many bourbon characteristics to me at all.
Similar to a high-quality Scotch, it's very smooth. Light fruit aroma but not artificial. Slight vanilla and oak but incredibly light and smooth. Great pour and incredibly easy to drink.
Nose: a grain and grass aroma. Sweet Palate: grass and sweetness at first, with a medium-length oaky end.
Intriguing. Not quite Scotch, not quite bourbon. It's smooth and easy to drink.
Sweet caramel notes.
