Tastes

Strong vanilla nose; sweet vanilla, orange, cherry cough syrup and caramel with a woody, spicey cinnamon finish. Outstanding.

Vanilla and maple nose; orange, caramel and cinnamon notes peek out over a balanced profile; pleasantly spicy and slightly bitter finish. Very drinkable but not particularly remarkable. Good for mixing, but there are better values.

Smells of Belgian waffles, pungent aged dark cherries and maple with a bit of an unusual mustiness; burned chocolate and a clear malt flavor give this a bold and unique profile over a traditional peppery rye flavor. A delightfully different change of pace that is likely not for whisk(e)y beginners.

Very light in color; no stand-out character other than a little spicy. Maybe a little reminiscent of a rye.

Floral nose; smooth, warm, butterscotch and honey on the palette. A bargain for this style.
