Tasting Notes
"The nose shows toasted oak and trail mix, particularly peanuts and raisins, but some dried apple in there as well. At full proof, the palate shows a concentrated grape/red fruit flavor. It's fairly spicy and hot with a bit of a tannic profile. Adding a splash of water softens the dram a bit, smoothing the rough bits out and taming the heat. Would advise doing just that."
