The Notch

Soft gentle aroma with notes of vanilla wafers marzipan and bramble. Continued soft sweet and creamy on the palate with red and black currant pear subtle gin botanicals and lingering anise on the finish. Good oak grit for such a young whisky which helps to balance the sweetness. Fairly straightforward as would be expected with such youthfulness but very enjoyable. I wonder if this whisky is peaking at eight years old (or at least reached a plateau)? Certainly mature enough to enjoy now but I would be curious to see this at 12 years old where it might gain some additional depth and complexity providing the oak is kept in check.
