Color: Green tea. Nose: Soft and hot. Sweet bread, fresh baked with honey or light syrup. Maybe some treacle as well. Slight apice, possibly a little juniper. Palate: A little creamier, with more vanilla, than expected. Can taste the first fill ex-bourbon barrel. Grainy, maybe some porridge with sugar. Toffee and butterscotch with a little mushy banana, on second look. Heat overwhelmed the flavor somewhat. Finish: Spicy resin, tree sap, tons of oaky barrel flavor. Hot and spicy and sort of feels like a different whisky. With water: Soft fruits and rainy flower petals on the nose. More sweet bananas as well. Spicier on the palate. More floral top to bottom. I think I get some coconut too, but overall a little thin.
