Nose opens with figgy pudding, raisin, cocoa, cinnamon, dark wood, nougat, and peanut brittle. A bit of ethanol where I wanted none, but hey perfection is hard to come by.
Omg. Palate is literally a liquid Tootsie Roll; chocolate, gooey fudge, caramel, toffee, malted milk ball, strawberry cream, and nutmeg. Flavors are luxurious and decadent.
Finish carries the palate forward turning into carrot cake, marshmallow, peanut butter, date, black pepper, cinnamon roll, and a hint of balancing oak. Mouthfeel is heavenly; full bodied, silky, and buttery.
This is absolutely amazing. The best “American Single Malt” I’ve ever had. Definitely on the desserty side and not the most complex whiskey I’ve ever had, but what’s here is stellar. Man, I want to give this a 5 but for that rating I just want a little more depth. That said at $84.99, the day after tasting it I went back to get a backup bottle to find the shelf bare. Doh! Buy, buy, buy.
