Comments:

Floral, silky and airy. Quite a refreshing, sweet whisky. There are nice notes of brown paper, which bring to mind thoughts of brandy. It's slightly incongruous, because the body of this whisky is pretty far removed from brandy. There's a harsh little astringent tang at the end.

Verdict:

I like this.
