Tasting Notes
"Though brown sugar is prominent on the nose, the whiskey has a masculine profile overall with leather and barrels spices shining through. The sweet and spice aspects balance nicely and that see-saw action between the two flavors as you drink is a pleasurable experience. The finish is on the bitter side, but still has a bit of mouthwatering acidity that doesn't leave the whiskey flat and encourages you to take another sip."
