The dominant flavor and aroma are of Sun-Maid Raisins, with a hint of cherry as well. I enjoy it, but it's certainly not for everyone.

Lingering finish, unexpectedly good given its youth. Might be a 4, requires more tasting. Youth brings sadness, but this whiskey does not.
Received cranberry at the start and finished more with caramel and a slight amount of cinnamon spice. A respectable pour for something aged 18 months.
Notes of caramel, spice, and orange citrus. It's quite young and fiery, but its inherent balance suggests it would have matured gracefully.
Harsh. Entirely unpleasant. Like fiery cough syrup, but without any medicinal benefits.
Caramel, spice, cranberry, and smoke are present. Exceptionally smooth for a young bourbon.
