Aroma - rum is definitely noticeable… brown sugar, bold vanilla, peach, slight hint of leather, and tobacco leaf. Raisins also come to mind. Interesting and unique.
Taste - follows the nose which is great…Brown sugar, vanilla frosting… again picking up an interesting fruit profile in peaches and figs. The rye profile is very subtle.. I have to reach for it.
Overall - Is this juice or is this whiskey? It is stupid just how incredibly smooth this is and it has a great balance of flavors. At 90 proof the finish is non-existent and the viscosity is water-like (to be expected)… BUT…….
It is honestly too light and smooth.. and barely resembles a whiskey. Really need to boost the proof on this to be honest. I brought this bottle to a bday party and it was crushed mostly by non-whiskey drinkers lol…There is absolutely zero burn
