Ko'olau Old Pali Road Whiskey

🧘: let it breath for a few minutes 👃: Vanilla, sweetness, and slight banana (?) on the nose 😋: Vanilla, candy/caramel, decent heat/spice and fades relatively quickly.

Light, smooth and straw like with a little alcohol burn. Nice average dram.

Smooth, a little ethanolly at the beginning but quickly mellowed into berry-like sweetness.

Vanilla bean, cream, a touch of clove, maybe a little coconut. As someone else mentioned, it does taste like the island. Not overly complex, has a short finish, but quite nice as a neat pour.

Fruity, spice, bit of cream on the nose. Licorice, clove palette, spicy finish.

⌚: Uncorking. Let sit for about 5 minutes. 👀: Light amber with not much legs, glints of sunshine; 👃: Intense vanilla bean and oaky notes abound, wisps of smoke on the back end, even smells like the Hawaiian air where this whiskey is finished; 👅: Very thin, vanilla bean ice cream, a little smoke, some bing cherries, maybe even a little coconut; 🏁: Not much nuance here, short finish so you can switch up if you need to.

Very light taste with nice follow through.

It weirdly tastes like Hawaii.
