  • Overall, this is sort of a wild ride. It's all over the place, mostly super sweet, and introduces some really unique elements for an American whiskey. While I appreciate the innovation, I don't think its executed incredibly well, but the end product is enjoyable enough.

  • Nose:

    Honey, caramel, confectioners sugar, corn and banana bread. Faint mineral notes, but mostly, it is a sweet candy like nose.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel, only a little mild heat. Sugary, sweet caramel. Honey, roasted peanuts, almonds, corn syrup, cotton candy, confectioners sugar. Some faint oak.

  • Finish:

    Short, hot and growing with some astringency. Lots more toffee, caramel and oak here.
