A bit different. Deep color, almost tawny. Takes a few days to really open up, especially the nose. However, it eventually arrives and pulls a pretty orange zest, vanilla, and (delicate?) oak blanket over a very nutty peanut and pecan butter base spirit. There's definitely an attempt at a bridge bourbon here for Scotch and Japanese whiskey drinkers. At moments, I get sort of a Speyside note, like a Glenfarclas 12 vibe. However, it never really develops an interesting personality. It finishes as expected with plenty of peanut, cherry, maple syrup, and cinnamon. It's a good whiskey, but time and money is probably best spent elsewhere.
