Daxenus

Woodsy, almost pine smell. Heavy taste of oak with herbal, medicine finish. Short on the palate. Probably would not purchase again, but a fun local products to try.

jdjbj43 2.5

Mid range overall. Strong caramel but short on the palate. Brief, smokey tail with a quick burn on the finish.

mastapeet 4.0

I was worried this would suck but this is a strong local Whisky. Tasted like there is some rye in this.
