Tastes

Peanutty? This whiskey is smooth as hell, hardly fights back going down, but warms you up enough. The attack is like a Reese's cup or a Butterfinger, and the peanut flavor stays around on the couch watching Letterkenny while you go about your day. It cleans up after itself and shares a humorous anecdote about a time you and it were at a party together before leaving to go home and feed its cat.

Heavy bite, but resolves its stack into a fruity-noted whiff in the nose, not unlike grape skins or red delicious apples (which are the worst apples by far). I find the best way to drink this is to push all the air out of your mouth, suck in a little whiskey, buck-toothed-suck in air like it's a wine tasting, churn it in your mouth against the roof of your mouth with your tongue, then swallow. When you exhale, do so through the nose and feel the heat come out like you're a disgruntled dragon awoken by a passing bird and nothing more.

Dry, smoky in the nose, long finish. Tastes like Maker's Mark decided to go backpacking through the desert and lost some weight on the way.
