I judge this to be a young whisky, spending the minimum three years in the barrel and then just zooming through the rum barrel as it makes its way to the bottle. It would be a good $20 whisky, but $38.49 is too much for what it delivers.
The color is reddish gold. The legs form at different places at different times, are thin and long, and run at different speeds.
NOSE: If only the first note were an accurate indicator of what's to come - it's a glorious honey. But all that follows is candy corn, and smoky corn.
TASTE: Alcohol is the main note, with honey and straw coming in underneath.
FINISH: Long, but consists solely of alcohol and oak.
