Nose: warming rye spice, honey and caramel sweetness joined by soft ripe apple and delicate hints of milk chocolate. Palate: sweet honey and caramel lead the way. Spiciness, apple, and warmth emerge in a big middle leading to a great finale. The finish is gentle spiciness and leaves a lingering fruitiness in the mouth. Lighter end of full bodied whiskey. Velvety mouthfeel. Rich caramel color. Absolutely delightful, especially at 100 proof! Wonderfully smooth, yet impactful.
