Aroma is interesting and unique, offering peach, white grape, honey, sugar cookie, banana, and pine. Ethanol is there is you huff too deeply, but diminishes with smaller sniffs.
Palate offers vanilla, bitter orange marmalade, honey glaze, butterscotch, burnt marshmallow, and banana bread. Flavors are rich and punchy.
Finish is long and complex with Concord grape, caramel, orange slice candy, white pepper, and blackberry. Wow…you can still taste some elements minutes later. There is a hint of ethanol which serves to be a slightly detracting. Mouthfeel is medium bodied but extremely oily and slick.
Almost bordering on a dessert whiskey with many layers of complexity within the sweetness. Could have used a hint of wood for balance. At 86.99, it’s slightly overpriced but yet still a fine whiskey that I would consider rebuying depending on what else is in my current stock.
