Tasting notes:
Nose- Nectarine and pear, somewhat tropical aroma. Cardamom and dried oak. Sponge toffee and roasted almond. Light smoky aroma.
Taste- Tangerines and toasted oak. leather, black pepper and coconut. Semi-dry mouth feel. 
Finish- Nutty, Pear, bitter citrus and coconut. Long finish.
Distiller's thoughts- This whisky has similarity to other Downriver expressions but still unlike anything we've released yet. Perhaps due to the 5 grains it has been derived from and the unique choice of yeasts, it has a novel tropical feel from our other whisky releases. Young, light bodied and summer feeling. Very easy to drink neat due to it being a grain whisky and light chill filtering at 43% alcohol. I'm certain that this one will play very well in cocktails with its fruity notes and it already reminds me of an Old Fashioned when drank neat. Overall, I believe this is a great whisky for the price.
