Box Early Days 4 Year Old 5 Year Old, Bourbon Cask, Batch No. 002, 2018, 51.5%

A Maltiply member's tasting notes and whisky impression.

87 / 100

The most compelling detail is the contrast between the palate’s pleasant sweetness and its smoky, spicy notes; neither is described as overwhelming the other. Fresh vanilla and a hint of citrus set a lighter tone on the nose, while the finish brings vanilla back as the smokiness fades. That measured shift gives the character a clear shape, and the warming finish sounds like a fitting close. It’s a composed, appealing combination rather than a one-note sweetness.
