Tasting notes
Nose: This is young and sharp. At first there’s a piney, green note mixed with honey and black liquorice. There’s a young and sharp ethanol note sitting in the back. With time in the glass the sweetness grows in intensity and a fruity top note arrives. There’s an oakiness coming up towards the edges which brings a nice vanilla side to the mix. This is not the greatest nose overall. There are some nice things popping up but they are overrun by typical young, craft whisky notes.

Mouth: It starts out with a young, green pine note surrounded by honey and vanilla. The ethanol almost gives the whole a fizzy feeling at the start. There’s a bitterness in the back which makes it even weirder. After a few seconds an oakiness arrives and overrun most of the flavours which in this case is a good thing. There’s a nice evenly spread spicyness overall which helps it along, but it’s not enough to rectify the bad things.

Finish: The spicyness floats out nicely over the palate. The bitterness stays in the back and a whiff of unidentfiable fruits, pine and vanilla swish by and then the oakiness dries out the palate together with a side note of liquorice. The late finish is all about an aggressive fresh sawdust oakiness. This is not a good whisky. There are elements which shows future promise, but this is too young, too oaky and too unbalanced.
