This burnt amber/copper colored whiskey has been a mainstay in my bar for years. Coming in at $30 a handle and 100 proof, it rarely leaves the best buy listing. Fresh corn, maple syrup, birch syrup, brown sugar, white sugar, some bruised apple, light caramel, nougat, baked apple, and buttery peanut brittle aromas. Sugary and tannic on the palate with maple and cinnamon flavors that grow drier and more woody on the finish accompanied by a touch of black pepper, nutmeg, pecan, and bitter wood. Elite in this price range, but pretty uninspiring at twice the price point. Good value where it's priced
