Tasting Notes
"Candied oranges and orange peels jump out on the nose, with a zesty spiciness behind it. Take a sip and notice a lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The Angostura-style bitters come to the forefront initially, followed by more orange citrus, baking spices, rye spice, and orange zest. More candied citrus carries through to the finish where a lingering sweetness remains. Hard to distinguish much of the qualities of the whiskey itself, but it's an easy-sipping semi-prebuilt cocktail."
