Nose: Vanilla, brown sugar, faint marischino cherries and fresh peanuts. Clove, nutmeg. Palate: Oak, oak, oak, vanilla. Tannin. Banana, peanut. Hot. Black pepper. Barrel char. Not going to lie, it's great. But almost over-oaked. There's a near wet cardboard quality that creeps up and almost ruins everything. The sweetness helps, but this is not a perfect whiskey. A great sip, nonetheless.
