Someone recommended this whiskey and i dont regret getting it. On the nose, its clear this is a special whiskey. So complex, fruity, sweet, some oak, sweet. On the palate this hits you with more fruity flavors, oak, little spices, and the finish is medium to long. The abv seems appropriate for this whiskey as it gives so much flavor with burn.

I sought one of these bottles for months and found one this fall. I’ve tried it on at least 4 different occasions and just can’t understand what the distiller was trying to accomplish. Usually my palate can adapt to any flavor profile aftrer a couple of pours but this one is not pleasing at all.
Nose: Figs, caramel, and chocolate Palate: More fig and dark fruit notes, crème brulee, and a velvety palate Finish: Long with dark fruits, chocolate, and spice
