Conti's Wines & Spirits store pick 144 proof Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Butterscotch and a hint of cinnamon. Palate: Baking spice and oak, with some clove and cinnamon notes. Finish: Long and warm. Splash: A few drops calms the spicier notes and lets the sweetness of the clove come through without being too spicy. Overall: 9/10 - My first hazmat bottle. Definitely recommended for anyone who likes higher proof whiskey.
