Sweet right from the start, with notes of dark vanilla, cinnamon toast crunch, and chocolate, finishing with a light rye and baking spice. Very unusual and interesting, but not something for daily drinking in my opinion. It's a great spirit to bring out to impress people, and for when other whiskeys don't quite hit the spot. The most striking aspect is that incredible cinnamon toast flavor; it's so distinctive. Excellent for cold-weather enjoyment.

A distinctive flavor profile. Some spice and abundant floral aromas that make you want more. Drink slowly, as the flavors and scents might be overwhelming for some.
Citrusy, sharp, and floral. It brought to mind Abhainn Dearg, and my wife said it reminded her of absinthe. Definitely interesting.
Sweet cotton candy butterscotch aroma, same taste, reminiscent of eggnog vanilla meringue. The top selection.
