Maple syrup, brown sugar, powdered sugar, granulated sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial vanilla, molasses, heavily dosed rum. This appears to have some kind of flavoring/sweetener additives, and should probably be labeled as liqueur. I would imagine there's a cocktail that this might work for, but I don't tend to drink cocktails. I think this is made for people who like drinking Fireball and want to splurge on something "fancy".

@soonershrink close. They did hand out chocolates. And only two tasting samples. None of the special cask strength editions made it into the tasting. A real disappointment after a day at Four Roses, Wild Turkey, and Makers Mark.
Amen! Glad to see I am on the same page as my favorite reviewers. The scores on this are a head scratcher. Total sugar bomb; gave away my second half of the bottle.
@LouisianaLonghorn did they have Cinnamon Toast Crunch in little bowls instead of peanuts?
@pkingmartin 🤣🤢
@PBMichiganWolverine would love to try! I'd be happy to send over anything in my cabinet.
A good, accurate review. This whiskey is about as good as the Angels Envy tour in Louisville.
To me, this is an alcoholics breakfast treat of half a bottle of rum poured on top of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
@soonershrink ironically I had a rum finished whiskey as well this eve ( bourbon though not rye). Totally different experience than this ones. ( let me know if you’d be interested in trying it, Bardstown Plantation Collaboration, will gladly send a sample)
