The ages on these bottles vary, however the MINIMUM is 7 years old. This particular bottle that I am trying is 8 years 6 months. It opens with a citrus element and has a ‘bright” nose. Typically, when I say that, it’s just in reference to brighter notes instead of “darker” notes, such as chocolate, tobacco, leather, etc. The palate follows the nose but adds depth to it and carries for a medium to long finish. I wouldn’t classify this as a super complex whiskey; however the experience improves as I move through each stage. From the nose, to the palate, to the finish. This is 107 proof and very enjoyable for my palate.
