Tasting Notes
"The nose and palate are an interesting study in seasonal contrasts. Spring-like aromas of sweet herbs, green apple, orange and lemon zests appear on the nose. The palate is much richer and more autumnal, with flavors of roasted kettle corn, toffee, candied apple and a generous swath of maple syrup coating the tongue. A big wallop of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg and a hint of rosemary add to a slightly hot, toasty finish. It definitely has personality for a 40% ABV whiskey. "
