Tasting Notes

Trying this one while getting over a cold, so I don't have much confidence I am capturing the nuance of the dram or giving it a fair shake. That said, what I am picking up I am enjoying.

Palate

Sweetens up with a touch of water. My cold-touched senses are shutting down on me, but what was initially a touch harsh is mellowing as I go into something I could easily have more of.
