Nose is reminiscent of a very clean corn whiskey; doesn’t seem to have a lot going on. Palate is quite dry and almost earthy, like a well-made rye. The sips after the first reveal a very cool deep baked goods quality, like a dark breakfast muffin with a hint of molasses, with some butterscotch in there as well. There is a strange, subtle dark-berry-without-the-sweetness note at the end that I assume is the wine barrel influence. Overall, a pretty interesting whiskey that seems to be priced well (~43 USD where I am), but it seems more like a fortuitous end to an experiment than a purposeful flavor profile.
