Sweet nose with honey galore — smells like real fresh honey.
Simple but enjoyable palate. Black pepper and oak mingle with a huge fresh honey note.
Honey guides the finish — it’s interesting, the finish is pretty slow and long, while being almost pure honey throughout (a bit of pepper and cinnamon appear for a bit). The honey strikes different notes as the finish concludes — it’s a finish almost akin to honey slowly trickling down the back of your throat.
Pretty one-note, but seriously delicious stuff. I couldn’t drink this every day, but it's a banging sweet-tooth whiskey.
