The palate is sharp and again quite fruity, though more traditional notes of vanilla custard, toffee, come into focus, helping to temper that enduring rush of citrus. As this fades, what’s left behind evokes almond nougat, brighter notes of lemon, and a mix of fresh green herbs — less rosemary but more of a mélange from the garden. Tempering with water helps bring this all into clearer focus (and this whisky can handle plenty of it), with a finish that evokes sandalwood, coconut, and lingering hints of those old bourbon barrels.
I found its charms significant enough to return to the well more than once.
