Nose: Brown sugar sweetness, hints of a grain silo's dustiness and dried peanut shells. Taste: Even sweeter, yet not cloying. Notes of vanilla and oak spice emerge. Finish: Lacks complexity. Evokes aged rum, though less viscous and sugary on the tongue.

Smooth and sweet with a noticeable grainy flavor not found in regular whiskeys. Not much complexity beyond the sweetness, but a good sipping drink nonetheless.
It's sweet and could benefit from oak and time. However, it's an intriguing sorghum foundation and final product.
I'm not the most experienced taster, but I detect honey and oak.
Distinctive, as anticipated. It's smooth and quite enjoyable.
