Nose: spice, pepper, hint of raspberry or orange (bright fruit), caramel/vanilla Pallet: lite, spice carries over, burnt carmel, toasted, orange Nose transfers to the pallet well. Its not a thick or heavy whiskey - its very lite. You can get some type of bright fruit although its hard to identify exactly what it is. Little spice but good mouth feel. For $50, its a geat deal for a single barrel and higher proof.
