Middleton's notes are so spot on, and this whiskey is so complex, I'm not gonna sully this review by trying to explain it myself. On the nose there is red licorice, fresh rosemary and mint, and ginger root. The taste is sweet fruit and spice, cinnamon toast, and ripe bananas. This finishes with green tea, some more fruit and spice, and a nice woody finish that is the smoothest of the Method & Madness line in my opinion.
