Ok…I’m gonna level with you…nosing/tasting this whiskey may very well change your life. I could get frisky with this whiskey and not a person would bat an eye. Now… on to business… Nose: sweet tea…but better, beef teriyaki noodles…but better, Ethiopian coffee…but better, a vanilla brown sugar oatmeal pancake…but better. Taste: Honeyed black tea with a note of mint and a biscuit on the side…but better, evolves into a caramel candy square that some genius confectionery sprinkled a hint of pepper into…but better, a “this whiskey made my wife like whiskey” sort of whiskey… but better (true story) Palate/Finish: If my mouth tasted like this forever…I would spit at people and they would thank me. The caramel and pepper clings like if it let go…it would die a terrible death. I kinda like this one.
