The flavors are there, but subtle. Vanilla, citrus-mint, with a bit of space. I have to say, I wish it packed more of a punch. That being said, it is incredibly smooth and I would definitely recommend this to a new whiskey drinker. Want to have your whiskey neat, but are afraid of the intensity? Go with Breaking and Entering and you'll be totally fine. This would also be great in a cocktail. My advice: don't add ice or water. No need. It's not my favorite, but I will absolutely be adding it to my home bar.
