Tastes

This smells like varnish and tastes too much like shoe polish. The worst dram I’ve had in years. It’s a hard pass.

Just opened this bottle and tasted it after Act Six scene three. This is a higher spice profile and while the proof is equal, this leaves an impression of higher heat. Similar flavors with baking spices, red apples, and cinnamon. More leather on the nose and longer finish. Those who seek rye spice will prefer this and those who seek bourbon sweetness will prefer act six and act seven.

This is one of the best whiskies I’ve enjoyed. A nice blend of red fruits and spice. Perfect profile for my tastes, which mostly consist of highland scotches and sweet, attainable bourbons.
