Hillrock Single Malt (Barrel No. 4)

Razor-sharp aromas of clove seasoned wood and dried grass push firmly out of the glass. Hard-edged grain and spice continue on the palate but without the harshness you might expect from young whiskey with such a bold nose. It softens toward the finish and becomes sweeter with a hint of buttery fudge then develops an oaky dryness at the end. Impressive young whiskey.
