The nose of the whiskey features a strong scent of vanilla followed by heavy notes of corn and a hint of caramel. On the tongue, the whiskey tastes like a high rye with notes of vanilla. After swallowing, a pleasant burn lingers on the pallet, turning into a warm glow in the chest. It is a spicy and smokey drink. Should be excellent for mixing in a manhattan or old fashioned, but may definitely be enjoyed neat as well.
