Tasting Notes

"The aroma is filled with dark tones of leather, tar, and a touch of smoke with sweet honey notes hiding in the background. As you taste, the whiskey shows more of the grain flavors along with some cooked pears. There's a nice bite to the finish with more of the char smoke to end with. These characteristics don't stay with you for long but this whiskey seems to be built for those of us going where streams of whiskey are flowing. "
