Tasting Notes
"For being such a high-proof the nose on this whiskey is deceptively mild. Delicious pickling spices come through followed by caramel, grain, and vanilla. The flavor brings to mind mouthwatering sea-salt caramels. Again, don't let the ABV frighten you away--the mouthfeel is smooth thanks to the Madeira casks. A bit of water doesn't hurt, though, and calms the salt to reveal a dry smoky char."
