Neat. Neck pour. 7.5 year old. Super nutty! Geez almost Circus Peanuts even. Nuttiness mixed with a strawberry taffy. Lots of vanilla. Herbal quality to it too. Maybe nutmeg and clove. Hint of mint. Lot going on with this nose.
Texture isn’t thin but I wouldn’t describe it as creamy either. Vanilla and cinnamon at first but quietly gives way to the peanuts and taffy. Legs are peanuts and a hint of oak. The taffy comes back in the aftertaste.
I associate taffy/bubble gum with young craft whiskey, so surprised to find it here in a 7.5 year Heaven Hill. Luckily it has a lot going on around it to save the experience. Super smooth, light, but flavorful sipper.
