Whispers of caramel apple hiding beneath ethyl fumes on the nose. Pleasantly saccharine palate, with a more substantive mouthfeel than its parent whiskey. Slightly buttery texture without approaching syrupy. A little vanilla and tannins decide to join the flavor gang here. Fruitiness threatens to come out to play in the finish, but opts to wave from behind the bedroom window instead. I would suggest going with the third and most recent batch, if the opportunity presents itself.
