This is a great whiskey! I recommend airing it out for at least 20 minutes before going in. It is somehow both light and rich at the same time. Layered may be a better description. Drinks right at proof. I get sweet floral notes and almost confectionery (but not in a Light Whiskey way) lingering notes on the finish. This is one to sit with. If you go in looking for a Bourbon, you'll be disappointed. If you go in with an open mind, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

I was pleasantly surprised by this one. Nose was a bit muted at first but opened up to some very nice caramel vanilla oak. A very rich flavor for the proof point. Medium finish. Im not sure its worth what i paid, but im glad i did.
Aroma: Tobacco, green chilli, brown sugar, vanilla, Drinks hot, finishes a little thin, mildy astringent, brown sugar, vanilla After sitting the aroma is sweeter, still drinks hot, mildly less astringent
