Nose: classic Heaven Hill peanut, vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, chocolate, like sniffing a melted Snickers in a glass Palate: follows the nose with a slight peanut note and all of the sweet notes mentioned before, this drinks like a dessert and that is definitely a good thing. Milk chocolate, vanilla, brown sugar, good mouth feel. Finish: medium, with some barrel bitter, then the nuts and chocolate come back If you like a Snickers bar this is your whiskey. It isn’t overly complex like the other barrel proof offerings such as Elijah Craig and Stagg Jr that it will inevitably be compared to. It does fit nicely between Makers Mark Cask Strength and Elijah Craig as far as the flavor profile and it is worth having in your collection. If you can find this around $60 buy it, but don’t over pay for it. There will be two more batches this year so if you miss this one wait on #2 or #3. Also, if you do get a bottle, let it open up. Some air and time definitely does it favors.
