Nose
Initially this is all fennel tops, then it deepens and sweetens: vanilla, maple syrup, spun sugar. Bourbon?
Palate
Immediate impact of spice: nutmeg, allspice and toasty grip. Good with water. Mature, woody, smooth.
Finish
Firms up nicely.
Comment
Want to get bourbon drinkers into whisky, give 'em grain! Maybe not 40 Years Old grain but it could be the way in.
