Wow! What a strange aroma, whiskey with bitter almonds, I'm not sure. I thought it was a type of bourbon and likely not far off due to the sweetness. I believe the unrefined vanilla/scotch is what I perceived as bitter almond. Now I need to find a cocktail that includes both bourbon and maraschino.

The aroma is syrupy, with some floral notes. Sweet on the palate, with notes of dark chocolate and honey towards the end. Smooth for its proof. Rather straightforward. 7/30/17
Exhibits typical wheat notes, isn't too harsh, and was smoother than anticipated.
