  • While it's far from boring, you’ll enjoy [the] unexpected contrast it brings perhaps more than the whiskey itself.

  • Nose:

    Rich and funky on the nose, there's tons of bread pudding, sweet wine and honey, apples and pears, a touch of blackberry and opulent nougat. Rich and inviting, there's a lot going on!

  • Taste:

    Medium to rich viscosity on the palate, a touch of heat. Grape, berries, honey, caramel and some rock candy sweetness. Light, nutty, funkiness.

  • Finish:

    Everything comes together with this long finish. It's enjoyable, sweet and full of fruit, sweet oak and an interesting touch of nuttiness once again.

  • Overall:

    Overall, this is an interesting pour that seems to touch on multiple different flavor profiles. I like it — if jammy fruits and a nutty, sweet bourbon profile is your go, this should be right up your alley.
