Well, its Thanksgiving eve. Time for a sample and the traditional viewing of Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Maybe I should be sampling a bourbon instead of a New Zealander. Anyway…. N: A yeasty, berried nose. Well-baked cranberry bread with a pinch of cinnamon, vanilla, honey. Straightforward, simple nose but rich and tangible. P: A creamy, cinnamon spiced entry greets the palate. Similar to the nose, baked cranberry bread, vanilla and honey. A bit of a black pepper bite with a dark chocolate sweetener. F: A medium length finish that is slightly drying and woody that fades with the same dark chocolate mocha and a peppery tingle. O: A decent sipper with slightly limited nose and palate. But the few notes and flavors it holds, it delivers. Sips easy for a 53.4% abv whiskey. Thanks @PbMichiganWolverine for the generous New Zealander sample. [86/100][Tasted: 11/22/23]
