Nose is similar to a spicy Hefeweizen : Banana and apple mixed with heat
Mouthfeel: creamy and thick
Taste: toffee, hint of vanilla. Nothing overbearing or that really stands out. The finish is what will mostly catches your attention with a burst of citrus zest and spice.
This is a great everyday drinker. It’s not something you’re going to sit and contemplate and lose yourself in. This is like your neighbor ‘Jack’ that you can always depend on and borrow tools from and ask to watch the house when you’re away. You love Jack because he’s dependable. You’re never bothered when Jack pops around and when he does you’re not looking at your watch, trying to find a way to finish the conversation.
This whiskey is Jack: dependable but not outstanding. The reason you keep coming back to it is because it never lets you down.
Drink it everyday and share it with friends.
