The nose of the drink features complex scents of vanilla, allspice, cloves, and woody notes of the cask. On the pallet the whiskey carries a marvelous blend of sweet and spice. Vanilla and banana lead the sweetness of the drink which then transitions to the spice of the rye and a strong alcohol flavor. The tail of the drink finishes with a sweet maple syrup-like flavor that evolves into a slight medicinal flavor with just a hint of cloves.
