This is a remarkable whiskey! I suggest letting it breathe for at least 20 minutes before tasting. It possesses a simultaneous lightness and richness. Layered might be a better description. Drinks right at its stated proof. I detect sweet floral notes and almost candy-like (but not in a Light Whiskey manner) lingering notes on the finish. This is one to savor. If you approach it seeking a Bourbon, you will be let down. If you approach it with an open mind, I believe you will be pleasantly surprised!

I was pleasantly surprised by this. The nose was a bit muted initially but opened up to some very nice caramel and vanilla oak notes. It has a rich flavor for its proof. The finish is medium. I'm not sure it was worth the price I paid, but I'm glad I bought it.
Aroma: Tobacco, green chili, brown sugar, vanilla. It drinks hot, with a slightly thin finish, mildly astringent, featuring brown sugar and vanilla. After resting, the aroma becomes sweeter, it still drinks hot, and is mildly less astringent.
Very pleasant and flavorful. It drinks a bit stronger than 100 proof. It went down easily with a fantastic flavor profile.
Sweet fruity flavor with a subtle spice finish
Sweet with a little heat. Good balance.
