It's always fun when I sit down to enter a "new" whiskey and realize that it's already on the site, and that I have notes on it.
 
This time around I liked it noticeably more. Grapefruit, apple, lychee, eucalyptus, and a nice contrast to the 12 year old I tasted prior to it. Really good and drinkable, would be a good party whisky. B/B+ 
 
Old Notes:
Nose is grassy, with white wine, slight solvents.  Fruity.  Palate is sweet and clean, with sharp, apple-y fruitiness, and spice -- sort of a cinnamon-apples background.  Slightly oaky.  The finish is medium length, somewhat drying, and grows a little bitter and peppery.  This is decent stuff that's sort of lighter-flavored and interestingly-spiced without losing oomph.  But it's too drying and bitter to be better.  B-
