Nose: dark brown sugar, dark fruits, some nail polish/varnish Palate: chili pepper, over ripe banana, brown sugar, fresh red fruit, walnuts, some alcohol sting Finish: lemon rind, menthol, more fresh red fruit, chili pepper, more of that dark brown sugar It’s good and a little different….but not sure it justifies price. It also has an interesting color: dark caramel with some pink hue which definitely lets you know this is a red wine finished whiskey.
