This whisky sells for $68.99 for a fifth here in Albuquerque at Total Wine. It's a goldish copper in the glass, and the legs form slowly, and run quick and narrow. NOSE: Begins with honey, and then gives vanilla and caramel. The last notes are apples and pears. It's not a complex nose, but it is a very pleasant one. TASTE: Right off there's a definite alcohol burn, which I find is fairly common with 80 proof whiskies (why is there less burn at higher proof? I have no clue). The mouthfeel is watery, and the notes are fruity honey, a slight taste of oak, and something that makes me think of wine (probably the sherry barrels showing themselves). FINISH: Long, beginning with spice, then oak, and finally a lingering spicy oak.
