I'm a scotch and Kentucky bourbon drinker so this is a departure. It's a good whiskey. Loved the nose, sweet, brown or burnt sugar. Tried it neat then with 1 ice cube. First sip was lightly bitter, with spice. Recommend with the ice cube. It's a sipping whiskey so recommend room temperature after the single cube melts. Easy to drink and really enjoyable. Kind of reminded me of TX whiskey.
