Although not stated, it is thought to have been matured in a good bourbon barrel. Although short-matured, it has a decent finish. Of course, there are youthful and new make elements like cereal and plant sensations, but also bourbon barrel-matured nuances like vanilla, fruit, and floral notes. It seems to be a peated type, with a fairly strong peat sensation. When drinking, the prickliness is not very strong, and there was a matured nuance in the fruitiness. Although there is some immaturity in flavor, it feels like the finish is better than the aroma. There are parts where the peat masks youthfulness, but the fruitiness is clearly felt in the finish.
