This is a single barrel distillery only exclusive that was aged for 4 years and bottled at 49.9% that a sample was very generously provided by @PBMichiganWolverine.
The nose starts with a pan filled with apple cider simmering on the stove top along with a freshly prepared bowl of cinnamon apple instant Quaker Oats followed by some light barrel spices and slight hint of oak with medium ethanol burn.
The taste is a thin mouthfeel starting with poached pears, apple cider simmering with a whole cinnamon stick then creamy Quaker Oats, some light barrel spices and slight hint of oak with low ethanol burn finishing short with cinnamon apple instant Quaker Oats, light barrel spices and hint of oak.
This is an uncomplicated and very easy to sip on whiskey with no offensive flavors and tastes very similar to some 10 to 12 year old Scotches for only being 4 years old. I really enjoyed it as it reminds me of weekend oatmeal breakfasts as a child during the winter and just brings a smile to my face.
