this is a very unique whiskey. The nose has light oak, fluffy waffles and fruit. The palate is where it gets really interesting. the mouth texture is so creamy and butterscotch! sooo much butterscotch and vanilla. finishes nicely with long soft finish as the oak becomes a little more prominent. The Canadian oak barrels really transform the base whiskey in a great way.
Light fruit and spice. Very easy drinking. A little thin. But delicious. Short to medium finish. A little green on the palate, with pine, spearmint.
Incredible. Smooth. Bursting with flavor. This is what I expect from a premium bourbon. Of the three releases this is my favorite.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
