I liked It. Got a freebie dram to try with my order. Unsure at first, almost medicinal taste but not quite. The wood is very prominent and I think this initially made me uncertain, but a few more sips and it became very more-ish! A touch of sweetness too, elements of caramel! An interesting dram and one I want to try again! If this whisky increases its age then it’ll definitely be one to keep an eye on! Still thinking about it, enough to leave a review! Would consider buying again. It is a relatively complex taste and quite woody. I’m interested!
