This whiskey would definitely put hair on your chest. Definitely advise beginner drinkers to let it sit for just a bit with ice before drinking. I honestly did enjoy this though as it has a rich wheaty taste to it. It almost tastes like cinnamon on its end notes. Just be aware that this is a very strong drink. It is incredibly smooth and could possibly be my top three favorite whiskeys I've ever had. Great paired with orange bitters or even if you have a smoker.
