Nose
Caramel, oak, leather (light), earthy with subdued fruit notes; not particularly fruity overall.
Palate
Malt character with pepper on the back end; thin up front with a light body that doesn't tell much of a story.
Finish
Modest length with a mild bitter note; lacks depth and complexity.
Overall Score
2.5 / 5
A serviceable mixing whiskey with light grain character, but too thin and one-dimensional for sipping straight.
