Tasting Notes
"The nose is exactly as you'd expect and hope from a whiskey that mingles so intimately with maple syrup. The aromas are rich, familiar, and inviting. On the palate, there's a well integrated, almost minty coolness that keeps bold flavors of (of course) syrup, cookie batter, sweet corn, and baking spices well in check. The finish is long and balanced and there's no discernible cloying sweetness you might find in other flavored whiskeys. Perhaps because it's not a flavored whiskey, just one that was generous and shared some of its barrel time with a syrupy colleague."
