Pale Gold. Appears to have a light body.Nose: Fresh, juicy grass. Chocolate, almonds. Maybe hazelnut, too. Being young, it is quit hot. Distinctly bitter, but not bad; rather like the bitterness of Amaro or Fernet. As for spice, a little cinnamon. Too woody.
Palate: Pungent, but without all the good smoke flavor of its distillery bottled cousins. Very light, with a touch of oak. Earthy and fruity, like unwashed apples and peaches.
Finish: Rather short, has not really developed enough to take on the kind of flavors that stay with you after the dram has gone down. It simply has not developed enough character in the finish, most of its personality is on the nose.
Additional Notes:
- Kind of a rugged, solitary drink. Dusty, warming.
- Challenges a drinker with modest complexity and the fire of its youth. Definitely unique, but ambiguous.
