Tasting Notes by numen

Nose: grapefruit, lemon grass, fennel/anise like mukhwas, very bright vegetal quality (sweet celery)

Palate: Sweet, full, rich, lemon custard, pineapple, a little pepper, stale sweet cereal (dry wood)

Finish: short-medium and a mix of the citrus, grass, and cream. Slight grain bitterness on the finish, but well balanced all the same.

I really loved this. I took a whiff of it and it was unlike any other whisky that I've had. The quality is very good, and the nose is intoxicatingly seductive; it keeps drawing you in. This could be a dessert in its own right.
