Tasting Notes
"The higher proof shows up on the nose with some nostril-tingling heat. There's also some slightly artificial caramel aromas you get from some budget whiskies.The palate shows some decent and pleasant baking spices and corn sweetness. There are some secondary flavors of tobacco and cinnamon and the whole thing finishes up better than the sum of its parts. "
