I received two small taster bottles of this stuff with a particularly high dollar order from one of my favorite rare whiskey vendors. Everything about these taster bottles was screaming for me NOT to subject myself to tasting it neat but... I just had to... The nose smells like peanut brittle vape juice. That is.. it somehow smells like Caramel Popcorn and rancid peanuts that have been trapped under a damp piece of a cardboard for a few days. The smell is not appealing at ALL. Trying to ignore the smell, I brought myself to taste the stuff. Jesus H Christ this was the first whiskey I ever poured out of my glass. Before getting to the overpowering assault on your senses that is supposed to taste like Peanut Butter, the whiskey itself tastes young.... like really bad moonshine. Its bitter as all hell and bites with an astringency that makes you question if its really whiskey as a base. That astringency rides out the taste as background noise to the absolutely hideous, overly artificial flavor that dominates the taste. Its salty and musty and tastes like peanuts that have been swimming in some type of moldy slurry. Christ... I can't even finish this taste as I don't want to take another sip. If you're a whiskey lover. For the love of God and all that is holy.. don't drink this stuff. This is by far and away the worst whiskey I've ever had. The .25 Stars I'm giving it is generous.
