Wow, lots of cinnamon and peanut brittle on both the nose and palate. Some Orange notes as well. A hint of the high Rye in the Aroma with lots of spice notes. Flavor is fireball cinnamon with the peanut brittle as mentioned. Oily on the tongue and the spice leads to a warming Kentucky Hug. Does not hide the 114 proof. Omg! Three drops of water makes the heat and spice explode. This reveals the 114 proof even more. Frankly I would not add water here. Glad I have the bottle and I'll probably use mostly in Old Fashioned cocktails.
