Initially fruity, but over time the floral character becomes more and more concise and the light barrel char also becomes stronger.
The taste is then typical ex-bourbon style with light fruits, the barrel char character is clearly noticeable.
Is getting drier and the tongue stays covered for a long time.
Not bad, but not the over-the-top even now.
Anyone who likes pure ex-Bourbon whiskys and can cope with light smoke can definitely grab it here; I find the price at around 65 but quite heavy.
The smoke and the floral from the nose give a nice complexity, which is then more limited in taste to the smoke. The heather smoke reminds me a lot of Highland Park.
[86 - 82 = good whisky -> get a second bottle? Maybe...]; in this case the sample is enough for me.
maybe get a sample / bottle sharing first, otherwise the disappointment could be too big!
