Amber colored, medium bodied, silky mouthfeel. Nose: rich dark fruits, creamy milk chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, hints of maple toward the end. Sweet, inviting, and well rounded. Palate: vanilla and dark fruits lead the way, joined by chocolate and cinnamon spices. The middle heats up a bit and also develops a brighter fruity flavor. A big flourish of cherries and chocolate, with cinnamon and oak preceded the finale. The finish is medium length and warming, leaving lingering notes of cherries and chocolate. Phenomenal whiskey, even more so if you can find it at retail price!
