Nose: Black cherries, rich caramel, leading into bittersweet chocolate. Palate: Initial honey and anise. Quickly transitions to spice, pepper, and molasses that don't linger. Finish: Somewhat disappointing. Warmth remains with a sweet pepper fade.
Among the worst whiskeys I've unfortunately had the chance to sample.
Abundant cherry and honey notes. Pleasant finish, not overly sweet.
