On entry, a little heat, but still smooth. I get a hit of sweet brown sugar, green apple, and light malt, on the nose. On the palate, there is a little burn at first, but very nicely mouth warming and silky on the tongue. Very sweet tasting - candy corn and butterscotch, with a medium finish that lingers at the sides of the mouth, with possibly a hint of licorice on the back taste. This is definitely a sipping whiskey.
