TheWhiskeyJug 2.0

NOSE Honied fruit, vanilla taffy, Banana Quik, malt and a touch spirity. Not a whole lot going on here, it comes through super light and airy. PALATE Hay-like malt, Banana Quik, honey, dried fruit, nuts and vanilla taffy notes with a touch of spice and wax. Heavier than the aroma but, again, quite light and airy. I’m just not getting a ton on the delivery and I have to really take my time. FINISH Medium -> Banana Quik, vanilla and wax fade to cinnamon-heavy spiced nuts.
