Chris
 
N: First nose was a bit musty, but that passed quickly and terrific pineapple and melon notes emerged.   Fruit cup in oil.
P: That's a really tasty, fruity, nectary, syrupy, thang.   
F: Turkish delights (Yes, I have had them, in Turkey no less).
Punchy and refreshing, I like this a lot.
Andy
 
n: Calcium carbide.
p:  Punchy, crisp, potpouri.  Happy.
Kevin
 

N: Vegetable sour - later more caramel & floral

P: Sweeter & more floral, also spicy

F: Long & pleasant

 

Not my favorite flavors, but really good for what it does.

Grassy, honey-sweet notes, mineral stuff, hay, more grass, YUM. This is exactly what a not-too-much-of-anything malt should be. Fantastic stuff that hits the spot when I don't want any sherry or peat. Why didn't I buy more of this when I could?
 
I've been drinking the last few inches of this bottle over the past few nights (July 2014), and I have to say, it's fantastic. (Note that LAWS preserves all our whiskeys, so this hasn't oxidized or aged much).
