Batch 3, 60.4 ABV Not much on the nose, more ethanol than there are light apple, pear and vanilla notes. Viscous, creamy and spicy on the palate with the same light fruits and vanilla. Finish is long! Spicy and warming, probably the best part of this whiskey. An ice cube mutes the ethanol, intensifies the fruit notes, and accentuates the viscosity, especially as the ice melts. Nice!
