Tasting Notes
"The consistency is rather viscous. Dark cherry, roasted cashews, mint, maple syrup, roasted corn and toasted oak hit the nose. The cherry takes on a more medicinal note on the palate as it mixes with the oak, though there's a hit of fruity tartness. Toasted corn cereal, cinnamon, clove and black pepper hit the mid palate. While there is maple sweetness throughout, it's especially strong on the back of the tongue, along with more of that cherry tartness. The finish goes on for miles and is quite tingly as it settles in. A big ice cube might temper some of the heat and bring out more of the fruity notes, but whiskey fans might find it more fun to sip without. "
