The nose on this whiskey is well-balanced. It’s layered seamlessly. Sweet cherries, vanilla, salted Jerkey, cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes. The smells shockingly don’t push one another out of the way. None is overpowering and if you go back to search for a previous aroma it’s easy to find. It has an oily body. Caramel, French vanilla and funnel cake on the taste with a late oak and pepper kick that settles in the chest.
