Surprisingly easy to drink dram (apart from the finish)

Nose

Fresh fruits, sweet, grassy, slightly spicy, floral

Body

Slightly spicy palate, definitely a young whisky, very floral & honeyed sweetness, easy to drink, definitely very fresh, fruity & sweet! Perhaps a bit too sweet (which is surprising considering the bourbon cask)

Finish

Medium, dry & slightly spicy and hot finish
