Neat: A huge fusel burn right off the bat. Plenty of caramel, toffee and corn, but they play second fiddle to the alcohol heat. No peat or smoke whatsoever. With a droplet: the burn slightly decreases but not by much. The toffee and caramel dilute a bit, but prickly citrus spices come out with a floral quality. (RECOMMENDED) With a big cube: the vanilla, caramel and toffee bloom. Dried orange peel also pops here. Ashy smoke puffs out with ice as well. It definitely benefits from dilution or a mixer.
