Pours a honey-orange color, with short icicles of lacing around the sides. It looks sticky like honey pouring out the top of a cartoon honey pot. The aroma is very grainy, with what seems like a corn husk included in the batch. Vegetal corn/broccoli scent; sulfuric and a little gassy in the nose. There is something slightly off about it: it's a little gasoline/fusel laden, which is unexpected at only 86°. It's straight up coal, although there's no burn. The taste is orange cough syrup: not necessarily unpleasant but very medicinal. Some peppery barrel char. Spicy clove. The finish leaves a syrupy lacquer on the palate. Black licorice, some cinnamon spice. There is a minty coolness that pervades the tail end. It's still gaseous at the end, emitting a kind of gasoline-like coda. This is a highly drinkable whiskey, but it's just slightly off-putting and harsh.
