Drinking it neat. Sample received. This is a light whiskey? It smells like MGP light whiskey. Intense butterscotch, toffee, chocolate – like a Heath bar. I haven't found information on whether this blend includes MGP light whiskey, but I suspect that's the source of the aroma and the surprisingly high proof. A little bit of strawberries with powdered sugar. Faint tobacco. Honey and graham crackers. Oily and intense from the heat. Cinnamon, pepper, and maple syrup hit the tongue. It transforms into strong butterscotch, then a huge burst of vanilla, which then shifts to pure honey on the very long finish. More tobacco is coming through on the finish now. My mouth tastes like a cigar. That's interesting. It lingers like smoke at the back of my throat. Extremely long finish. A bit more chocolate appears at the front on later sips. A touch of mint. Very sweet, almost puckeringly sweet. Some nutty notes emerge on the finish now too. Intense from the start and intense on the finish. The finish lasts for ages. I haven't experienced a finish like this in a long time. I'm enjoying this sample, but I don't think I could handle more than an ounce at once.

The aroma presents cherry and lemon. The palate offers more cherry alongside wood and spice, concluding with a moderately lengthy finish featuring additional oak. A fantastic pour. It carries a high price, certainly, but is it justified? It ranks among my preferred selections, so for me, the answer is yes.
Amazing. Even at 131 proof, the aroma had hardly any ethanol. The palate was full, and the finish lingered. I'm so happy I got to taste this at CVG; I'd really like to get my hands on a bottle.
The aroma is of apple and cinnamon. Moderately sweet. Gentle spice with a medium-length finish. The alcohol content is manageable for its proof
Apple, cinnamon, spice, and cherry. Mild warmth, the alcohol content carries the flavor. Medium-length finish.
Hot. So hot it's numbing? But with a drop of water it has some pleasant notes
