Very assertive in a very gentlemanly way. Very oily, coating the mouth and lips. Flavors of citrus molasses and butterscotch without being to sweet. Not a typical flavor profile, but still very good. Top of mouth heat without heat on the tongue? Smooth for a higher proof whiskey. $12.50 for a pour was overpriced. $7.50 would be fair. A solid 3.5 stars or 7/10
