Aroma - wow.. that barrel, funky oak note is extremely unique and quite bold— like an attic, musty. Some bright red apples and pears come through and some vinous notes as well. As it opens, chocolate covered raisins mixed with leather. Slight red hot hint.
Taste - Nice balance of herbal, floral and sugar candied notes. Caramel apples, honey towards the back of the palate. Smoke on the finish.
Overall - This is definitely a unique whiskey. The youthfulness is evident though in my opinion and it doesn’t drink like a cask strength whiskey… The finish isn’t very long., the viscosity is minimal, and the proof really isn’t all that noticeable.
Getting a lot of Chattanooga Tennessee Whiskey vibes here (which is also 2 years)
Worth the purchase???? - Not unless you have extra cash lying around or are looking to try something unique. It is definitely a try-before-you-buy (if possible)
Dont get me wrong… it is good… but for $70 on a 2 year aged whiskey is a bit ridiculous. Drinks closer to a $50-$60 in my honest opinion.
