Aroma: Intense lemon, orange, and fig. Vanilla custard and a touch of fruitcake. Flavor: Bananas foster with subtle hints of apple and cinnamon. A very grassy, hay-like finish. A light touch of vanilla, caramel, and toffee. Adding water reveals citrus, woody oils, and flavors of burnt fruitcake. It's decent but not exceptional. The grain is clearly the primary element in the blend, though the malt and pot still contribute to its smoothness. It is a welcome sight to find this at a reasonable price point, rather than overpriced spirits that are not from the distillery.

Smell - sweet, light, but also malty (similar to many Japanese single malts) Body - sweet with orange marmalade Aftertaste - not much here, honeysuckle?
I am uncertain what aspect of this whiskey I dislike. It is likely the grain component, a mystery I will eventually solve.
Nose: Maple, fruity, floral notes Palate: Light, wheaty, medicinal notes Finish: Very smooth, subtle pepper and brine notes
Taste: light, crisp, citrus Aftertaste: smooth, salty.
Nose: absent? Taste: smooth Finish: clear
