Tasting Notes
"This whiskey is the opposite of subtle - deep, dark and weighty. Really coats the tongue. Aggressive smoke, wood, leather and herbal (rosemary, thyme, mint) notes up front, then turns more sweet with vanilla, coffee and bittersweet chocolate. At over 92 proof one definitely feels the burn. This one's definitely not for novices. However, that just leaves more for the rest of us. When we can find it."
