A sample gifted from the "Whiskey Transfer Program" from dthom. I feel like I say this a lot but...I really wanted to like this. Nose: I hate the way this smells. It smells like burnt orange (which I like) mixed with eucalyptus and mint (which I don't want anywhere near my whiskey). Taste: Candied orange and corn flakes. Not super complex which is not at all what I'd expect. A little hot at first. Finish: More mint, heavily sweet candied orange, cedar, and baking spices. A long and hot finish. I think the thing is that I like a lot of the individual flavors/scents as I pick them out but I don't like them together. Mint/eucalyptus/orange...Wrong!! Mint/orange/cedar/baking spices...WRONG!! It just clashes with itself. This whiskey doesn't know what it wants to be and is trying to be all things to all people. Sometimes barrel finishes just don't work and this is an example.
