A fun whiskey, the age and proof give a lot of room to play around. Add water, add ice. This whisky can take it. It’s a canvass, explore the flavours that come out The whiskey needs some time to breathe when its first opened. Lots of ethanol on the nose. The nose is caramel, vanilla, cinnamon… maybe a hint of allspice. The palate is delicious. Creamy mouthfeel, warm caramel gives way to a peppery finish. Adding water brings out more vanilla and chilis on the nose. The palate is smoother with candied chilis. The finish again has more chilis.
