This whisky made more sense after letting it sit for a few minutes. There was a brief warm oak, then the oak came across too dry. The balance felt off from start to finish.
smoky - oaky - fruityThe finish was the deciding point for me with 55 Degree North. The mellow sweetness was enjoyable and light smoke gave it enough character, although the oak came across too dry. A solid four rather than a five.
