Ellington reserve peach

Nose - peach tea, cucumber water, lime zest, cinnamon, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - over-sweetened peach tea, orange zest, candy peach ring, rich simple syrup, cinnamon, caramel, sweet vanilla, mild alcohol bite, finishing medium length with peach tea, cinnamon, and orange zest flavors. I usually like peach flavored whiskey better than the apple equivalent, but not in this case. The nose is alright. It’s almost like a peach teabag was steeped in cucumber water with a bunch of Splenda packets. The palate takes a worse turn. It’s just too sweet, completely cloying and sickly. The apple version was cloying as well, but not like this. Dump it in some Coke, or better yet, the trash and pour some real whiskey.
