Tasting this after letting it sit in the glass for about 10 minutes.
My favorite thing about this is the mouth feel, which is surprisingly viscous. Almost like a liqueur rather than a whiskey. Flavorwise, this reminds me of a less complex Elijah Craig barrel proof watered down with a little bit of honey milk tea. I'm getting hints of orange peel, clove, and cinnamon. There is a peanut profile I usually associate with Jim Beam products, but also a lesser extent with Elijah Craig. There's almost no burn whatsoever, which is surprising.
What this lacks in complexity, it makes up in drinkability and value. I'm not sure there's a better $20 bottle. Glad I bought this on a whim
