Tastes

Nose- old furniture polish, bitter baker’s chocolate, cedar chest, real beef jerky (not Slim Jim or gas station stuff), Rod’s Thrifty Mart (my brother-in-law) smoked sausage with extra dose of smoke Palate- serious smoke, big time wood and more wood, a hint of sweetness I can’t quite identify, BBQ burnt ends (really burnt) Not an everyday whiskey but perfect when enjoying a big oak, pecan or mesquite fire with friends. Matter of fact anytime a unique whiskey is in order this will fit the bill.

Especially smooth. Could make this my one and only if I had to. Caramel and chocolate on the nose. Cinnamon and apples on the palate.For nice and easy enjoyment this one is hard to beat.

Initial impression not highly rated. Gave it a few pours....it was not taking me anywhere. Came back to it a number of days after uncorking and was pleasantly surprised. Much better nose and palate.
