Nose - Very clean nose, lightly buttered popcorn, subtle vanilla cream, light oak
Taste - Sweet buttery sweet creamed corn, vanilla buttercream frosting, hint of smooth cinnamon spice
Finish - Smooth creamy sweet corn, vanilla cream cheese frosting, background of cinnamon heat.
Score - 85/100
Final Thoughts - I guess I went into this one with relatively low expectations. Since this entered the barrel at a pretty high proof, most of the unique flavors have been mostly distilled/stripped out. This was pretty one dimensional but pleasant throughout. Not exactly something I'd willingly order at a bar or reach for, but if offered a pour, I wouldn't turn it town. Nothing really off-putting but at the same time nothing really exciting about it. I could see this doing very well in a more vanilla/caramel desserty old fashioned.

@washeewashee did you try this at the distillery? It’s expensive, and probably not worth the $100 price tag for a bottle, but makes for a unique item from the distillery only shop
