On the nose…ok wait, that’s how I start many reviews, but that isn’t going to be sufficient for this one. The nose here is absolutely exquisite. Apricot, Mandarin orange marmalade, spearmint, honey, and a savory leaf character (oregano? thyme?) with zero, and I mean absolutely zero ethanol. I don’t know whether to huff this or drink it. (Ok, yes I do lol) Palate brings forth all the elements promised in the nose with the addition of pear, stewed peach, and just enough rye spice and herbal notes to prevent it from being too sweet. The tropical vibe makes this a whiskey that would be right at home being served on a beach in a coconut with a little paper umbrella. Flavors best described as “lush”. There is some heat that builds after repeated sips, but it in no way distracts or detracts from the experience. Finish where things get weird in the best possible way; milk chocolate, mint, rye, cinnamon, and black pepper, but the fruity tropical notes found in the nose and palate carry all the way through providing a wild ride as opposed to a sharp turn if you know what I mean. With a finish this good, you want it to last and it does. Mouthfeel is full and unctuous. Delicious and 100% unique, this gem is worth every penny of the $80 I paid for it. I regret nothing. In fact, probably going to have to procure a backup before this one is finished.
