Tasting: Sour. Honey, grass, lemon zest, vanilla, custard, hints of white grapes, hints of leather.
Finish: Medium. Bitter ginseng, lemon zest, white grapes, honey.

Comments:

Light, sweet and fragrant on the nose and on the tongue. But once swallowed, the finish hits like a freight train - bitter ginseng, not unpleasant, but with fruity grapey notes. Quite unusual, I don't often find ginseng in whisky.

Verdict:

I like this.
