Nose: lots of caramel and vanilla on the nose. Marshmallow with a thin cherry candied shell. Very faint hint of oak. Later brown sugar. Really great nose
Body: medium
Palate: white pepper immediately less of the vanilla and caramel from the nose and more of the sugary sweet fruity flavors. Some barrel char smokiness but more candied citrus fruit sweetness. Little bit of oak on the last sip
Finish: long but more like a candied orange and not smokey but very long and very nice. And as I sit with it I realize the finish is really long and I really like that. Just let the whiskey hang around for minutes after a sip.
Note: a sample from 1010. Very much looking forward to trying this. Tried neat. The finish kind of reminds me of the orange flavor I get on the palate of this years old Fitz 14. This is a very sweet whiskey. I really like this. Almost love it but doesn’t have the smokiness and fullness that I really love. It has a long lasting sweetness that I really like. Delicious.
2023 michigan trip, opened a bottle bought in wisconsin. Its good not great. Im getting loads of cherry and wood. Its not out of a snifter though. I like it but was a little disappointed. I forgot ive already had this. Anyway fun to drink with the boys.
