Taste - Light herbal sweet mint, cinnamon toffee, maraschino cherries mixed with fresh bing cherries, caramel, hint of pine, maple syrup, light drying/tannic. Finish - Lingering cinnamon spice, maple toffee, cherry cough drops, cinnamon red hots, sharp sweet Score - 85/100 Final Thoughts - So this was the first release featuring some of High West's own distillate and so far I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan. This year's release doesn't seem to have the same depth as previous years and it's a bit sharp on the sweetness and not as refined as previous releases. I don't get that nice stewed dark stone fruits as I typically get and this has more of a sharp singular sweet. The maple touch is nice, but it doesn't seem to really blend together very well. Would I drink it if offered? - Yes Would I specifically order it? - No Would I buy a bottle? - Already did, not sure I'd want too many more
