Aroma - slightly burnt marshmallows, green apples, banana, and caramel... very light hint of a dried raisin as well … just awesome.
Taste- tons of that marshmallow and light banana JD profile. Getting a slight hint of butterscotch, brown sugar, chocolate, and raisins and berries that seem to make quick flashes across the palate. This sounds amazing… but the finish is a let down in my honest opinion.
It’s just a bit harsh and abrasive.. slightly smokey. I have come back to this bottle over several weeks and the finish is just rough every time. It drinks closer to 110-115 proof and there is a hug and burn that I’m getting every time I take a sip. I actually had a pour of another whisky proofed at 118 with less of an age statement and it didnt’ hit as hard as this did.
Overall - it’s very good but I would NOT pay more than $80 for this offering (or MSRP)… It is honestly not that much better (if at all) than OF 1910 and WF Double Oaked or even Sagamore Double Oak.
