Tastes

Candy on the nose! Sweet all the way through and just absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!

Nose: chocolate covered cherries, creme brulee, vanilla, delicate cinnamon, maple syrup. The nose is rich, complex, and delicious from the start. Palate: the cinnamon comes out strong, nice oaky wood spice, and a nice touch of the maple syrup. Finish: long, oak, and a little sweet. Overall: first time trying thus and did not disappoint. I found the hype to be real. This was delicious all around though the nose stands out as the brightest spot for this one. Must try if you get the chance.

On the nose: rich sherry, vanilla, citrus notes primarily orange, raisins, and a nice hint of oak. Palate: More oak than the nose hints at, rich flavor but mouthfeel is a little thin, some of the orange cones through. Finish: fairly short and oaky with a quick wisp of apple. Overall, I remember liking this more the first few pours of the bottle. It does not do particularly well as the bottle empties.

Delicious! Found this at a whiskey bar in North Carolina (hunkering down and having a glass waiting for Florence) with a live jazz band. Rich maple syrup and vanilla on the nose with no burn whatsoever after opening up for about 10 minutes. On the palate, it is similar to the nose with just a little spice and mild heat. Reminiscent of a wheated bourbon such as Weller 12 in my opinion. Finish is medium if not a little short. My only complaint was that it is too easy to drink and my glass was empty way too quickly. Higher price point but worth it if you have $ to spend.

Very drinkable even for those who are new to whiskey. Sweet with some fruit notes like apricot and orange peel. It is also excellent in an old fashioned. Unique and tasty whiskey. Met the distiller at a tasting prior to seeing Metallica play.
