Kai Gaskins 4.5

Light. Lively. Delicious. It drinks like a high-quality cognac with a hint of apple. It's almost as if applewood was used in the production process or it was infused with apple rather than being distilled from it. Also notes of walnut skin, peach, smoke, and char. Very flavorful with a pleasing burn at the end that I appreciate.
