Evan’s Tasting Note
Nose: Lemon custard tarts, cotton candy, fruit salad with honeydew melon, canteloupe, bisected green grapes and pineapple bits, along with a glass of buttery Chardonnay to wash it all down.
Palate: Nicely creamy on the tongue with more cotton candy (the pink coloured kind, let's say), strawberry pop tarts, and a handful of smarties. Oh, and ruby red grapefruit juice served in a cup made from toasted oak staves with a mint sprig muddled in the bottom.
Finish: Short, but fruity and creamy and more than interesting enough to take another sip.
Comment: A crushable dram if there ever was one. Enough going on to keep it from being to simple but not a ponderous, complex mess. To me, this is one of those whiskies that you keep around to share. Just a sip and the company you keep is elevated!
