Nose has more heat than expected given the proof. Oak is probably the most prominent note. Also get some vanilla, little sweet caramel, along with orange zest. Overall not too interesting imo. Palate is sort of a sticky mouthfeel but not in a way that I enjoyed. As with the nose, I get a lot of citrus fruit along with oak and caramel. Finish seemed pretty long and featured oak and also some orangey citrus fruit, but in a slightly medicinal way. Conclusion Meh I expected more for 40 bucks honestly. Other whiskeys in this price point are much more enjoyable to me. It also had more heat than expected for only 88 proof. Overall the flavor profile seemed a little boring and focused mostly on oak and citrus fruit. Probably wouldn't buy again.

Nose: Vanilla, touch of oak, brown sugar cookies Palate: Cinnamon hots candies, vanilla, sugar cookies, Finish: Fast and smooth, touch of vanilla, a tad of cinnamon again

Strong Cinnamon front, greenery, spicy middle, Carmel finish

Medicinal, ethanol, would not buy or even drink again

Flaviar tasting box 04/2022 “C” - [ ] Color is a light-medium amber - [ ] Nose is VERY different - a vanilla-perfume popcorn with obvious barley - [ ] Taste is very vanilla and sweet caramel forward that fades into a buttery, floral barley - [ ] Finish is quite nutty but very smooth - [ ] Rating 3.5 My favorite of this tasting box because it was so different, but would get very bored with a whole bottle

Honey, oats, and slight mint of apple on nose. First sip is very welcoming. Smooth with notes of caramel, oats, and finishes with chocolate. This does not need a cube or water. Perfect neat and could be dangerous if used as a sipping whiskey after work.
