On the nose orange peel, pastry shop, caramel, coconut, chocolate mint. Not a lot of ethanol considering the high proof. The first taste is pretty toasty, however. Particularly since my whiskey drinking is down to about one dram a week. But it does well with a good bit of water. The palate brings tropical fruit, orange creme, berry, baking spices, and oaky barrel. The finish has a peachy tang that reminds me of some of Balcones single malts. Instant fan. Great whiskey, ordered a bottle after tasting the sample, generously provided by @Richard-ModernDrinking - thank you!
