I have a bottle myself that I found unexpectedly in a more upscale suburb of Memphis. Very light and flavorful without the peaty taste of most single malts. I completely agree it is somewhere between an Irish whisky and what you think of when you hear single malt. There is a sweetness to it (it is Madiera cask finished) but what I took away from it was the very pleasant scent and taste of what I described to a friend as a spring evening after a good rain. Slightly floral and earthy but not overpowering. Two friends of mine have tried it, one who is usually an Irish whisky drinker and the other usually a single malt drinker, and both enjoyed it. Not the best single malt I have every tasted but a very welcome addition to the cabinet both for its taste and its uniqueness.
I have read a few pages I found on the web about the distillery and if I remember this correctly, the bottles currently on the market were bottled very young with the potential of more matured bottles to come in the future. Perhaps even better things to come.
