Look: Like a bourbon really: burnt orange, gold hues on the edges. Lacing, legs. Nose: sweetness, little to no spice or diversity seems like. Mainly a grainy smell I’d say. Swirling opens more ethanol than I’ve smelled in a whiskey. Palate: sweet as the nose insinuated, little bit more flavor though. Caramel and vanilla. Finish: somewhat astringent, some burn but no barrel at all. Reminds me of a rum almost. Overall: I use this for manhattans and old fashioneds, but figured I should give it a fair shake. Not the greatest neat.
