Ive had this opened for about 1 week. Down to shoulder. The color is a rich dark auburn. I would say its the most red colored whiskey Ive had. Good legs. The nose is hard for me to describe. It is faint floral. Red wine. Given nose & color suspect finished in red wine casks. Taste is really nice. All spicy root beer & cherry cola. Light mouth feel. Minimal mid palate & very nice long spicey cinnamin finish. Not complex but really nice & unique
