Got to say that i have never heard about this whisky before, and i am not a fan of port cask finishes, but this not expensive single malt is nice enough to be drinkable, and for 17 dollars, you are getting a nice dram. This is a double Cask, matured in american white oak and finished in port casks. Bottled at 40%abv. On the nose it starts harsh, but gets better. You have to let it breath... a lot. Uncorking reveals red fruits. On the Glencairn the alcohol note is strong; Acetone. Red Apples, feels young. Barley and cotton candy. Sugary, red fruits. Dificult to perceive due to high acetone notes. Old degraded apples. Slight cinnamon. After first sip, strawberry appears. Second sip reveals a caramelized apple note. On the palate is way better. Starts a little Bitter, but becomes Sugary, like cotton candy. Winey. Apples. Barley / grassy. Decent palate. Impalpable sugar and Caramelized apple from the circus. Aftertaste is very dry and very decent. Raw wheat, Tobacco leaf, Dry grass. Maybe a slight hint of smoke. Overall this is a good whisky for its price, and could be a good starting point on single malts. A fair 80 over 100.
