Nose has candied apples and hits hard with hot Dentine cinnamon gum and a hint of brown sugar. Not overly viscous in the glass. The palate brings similar sensations with the heat and cinnamon overpowering everything else and causing a bitter finish. Ice mellows the cinnamon greatly, letting the fruit come forward as well as candy corn. Finish is much improved as well, although greatly shortened, eliminating the bitterness altogether while retaining a nice cinnamon taste. Not often I prefer slow sipping with ice, but this whiskey definitely benefited from a little taming.
