Surprisingly bourbonesque. There is a floral element to both the nose and finish. The nose has some sweetness to it, brown sugar/butterscotch. An oily mouthfeel with again the floral notes in attendance. I felt the dram on my tongue in between sips, it sits heavy but not unpleasant. Some brine but to be expected from the Maritimes. It’s soft and tender, no burn. NAS but the distillery is only 10 years old so I’d wager not very mature, nevertheless, a solid drink. This is like a Honda Civic, simple, some nice things about it but don’t expect much aside from it will do.

Very odd tasting whisky, more like a wine moonshine, strong alcohol taste, very expensive. Will not buy again.
