Nose: Spicy yet soft, like apple pie, lemon cakes, honey with cloves, geraniums. Light twang of rye.
Palate: Mid-weight. As the nose suggests a spicy, complex, chewy number that's fragrant/floral with apple, lime blossom, ginger/cinnamon, tobacco.
Finish: Very clean with a nice touch of apple pie crust.
Comment: A Doc Watson of a whiskey, mild-mannered but full of tricks. Please UDV, start pushing it!
Score: 8.5
Taster
Nose: Flowering currant. Herbal. Briar-like.
Palate: Smooth. Starts sweet and buttery. Crème brûlée? Then lemon zest. Lemon pith dryness.
Finish: Slightly clovey, warming. Soothing. Long and buttery.
Comment: Not as smoky and char-like as I remember. Very enjoyable, but less obviously Tennessean.
Score: 7.8
