I paired this whisky with barbecue, which helped show its character. The vanilla note was enjoyable and nutty edge gave it enough character, although the oak came across too dry. Good enough to revisit, especially with the right serve.

This whisky started gently and changed toward the end. It opened with malted sweetness, then moved into warm oak without losing balance. Easy recommendation for someone who enjoys this style.
warm - smooth - spicedI wasn't sure what to expect from this whisky, but I gave it a fair try. I tried changing the serve, but the finish turned bitter. I finished the glass, but I wouldn't choose it again.
