The Gifted Horse American Whiskey

Brown sugar and honeysuckle on the nose. Melting vanilla bean ice cream on the palate. A short-lived cardamom on the finish, with milk chocolate that clings on for awhile. I do really enjoy this whiskey, but I think it's deserving of neither the widespread hype nor the scathing criticism in which it's been so deeply mired. Glad I have it in the collection.

Spicy, tastes high rye with little easing up with an ice cube
