Always been curious about this low shelf whiskey.
The nose is very smokey with freshly baked bread with a subtle fruit note.
The palate is nice and oily, was not expecting that. I get corn, some of those baking spices and smokey notes from the nose. Not too sweet.
The finish is on the shorter side of medium, and there’s nothing wrong with it.
Because this one is only 86 proof, I had to really dig in on the nose and palate, but it’s good. For how cheap it is, it’s really pretty good. No harshness. Definitely on Th younger side, which is to be expected.
