Surprisingly light for a 10-year-old. My top choice after trying most of the available whiskeys from this producer. Sweet corn and vanilla flavors are immediate, followed by floral notes, then fading to caramel and oak. The American corn style is evident initially, with bourbon barrel aging noticeable on the finish.

A pleasant light dessert whiskey with hints of honey, vanilla, and a touch of orange zest. I only wish it had a slightly higher proof, as it's a bit subdued. But that's to be expected at its current strength. Still quite enjoyable, an easy, uncomplicated spirit for dessert. It ranks in the middle for me.
Color: Bright Gold Nose: Floral, honey, sweet creamed corn, banana, oakiness, and a touch of vanilla. Palate: Green apple, vanilla, caramel, creamed corn, and heather. Finish: Semi-sweet vanilla, subtle spices/touch of pepper, and oakiness.
The aroma is sweet, featuring vanilla and floral notes. The taste has vanilla and is moderately sweet. The finish leaves notes of caramel and a touch of honey
A whiskey with a light body, featuring notes of honey, corn, and mild spices. It has a brief, spicy finish.
This is actually the four-year expression, though that detail isn't shown. Incredibly smooth!
