The tail end of the tasting notes and the finish really cripple it. I like that it is cask strength and sort of unique but the taste just can’t hold up.

House Review
Nose:
Vanilla and some strong wood noted followed by wine and what smells like grape PX sweetness. Sugary, syrupy and thick on the fruit. I don't think this is a wine finished whiskey but damn does it smell like it.
Taste:
Thicker on the tongue than I expected, there's some astringent plastics, some wine and gritty sweetness and a bit of thick cream. It's pretty delicious overall but would be truly amazing if not for that bitter astringent plasticky note.
Finish:
Long but hot. Artificially sweet and thick and lots of plastic.
Overall:
The tail end of the tasting notes and the finish really cripple it. I like that it is cask strength and sort of unique but the taste just can't hold up.
