  • It’s equally light on the tongue, though the fruitier notes seen on the nose fade into a more grain-heavy experience, though it’s still very clean and ephemeral — leaning again into those perfumed notes, which give it a heady, vaporous quality. The light whiskey effect is strongest on the finish, which is sharp and sugar cookie-sweet, showing off final notes of almond extract and lemon cookies.
