Nose pops with lemon pepper, hay, barnyard funk, blood orange, cinnamon, honeysuckle, brown sugar and vanilla. There’s also a leafy cooking herb component in there (basil? oregano? thyme?) A complex and inviting nose for sure. On the palate, layers of lemon poppy seed muffin, those “orange slice” candies, snickerdoodle cookie, vanilla, and a kiss of oak. Flavors are bright and punchy as hell. Finish is just ridiculously long with brown sugar, cinnamon, rye spice, black pepper, chili pepper, orange and lemon zest. Everything about this whiskey is just explosive in a good way. At $55, this is like highway robbery. Is it REALLY a 4.75? Yes. Yes it is. I mean...wut? Scratch that, this is terrible. No one should buy it! Well, no one in the Phoenix Arizona area anyway. Outside of that you should get one. Buying a backup bottle before the secret gets out.
