  • Only a faint hot tickle catches the back of the throat at the end, though flavorwise, the finish comes up a bit short.

  • The best high-proof whiskeys are actually quite smooth; this needs water to find its sweet spot.

  • The palate sees more of that molasses, a slightly tannic grip in the form of cloves and a bit of petrol, with less sweetness overall, particularly on the slightly curt finish.

  • Here, there's plenty of alcohol wallop, but the flavor is thin, showing just a bit of almond and cinnamon.

  • I think the nose was the best part. I enjoyed the other parts but they were pretty astringent and thin, all things considered. That said, I've had far worse on this journey.

  • Nose:

    Caramel, passion fruit. Honey, vanilla, waffle cone. Spirit-y, but not punishing. Some banana. Some oak.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel. Shockingly light, not a ton of heat. Vanilla, cream, faint oak, pepper. Burnt plastic, astringency. Some fruits.

  • Finish:

    Medium length, but very hot. Bananas foster, vitamins, oak, pepper, cream.

  • Overall:

    I think the nose was the best part. I enjoyed the other parts but they were pretty astringent and thin, all things considered. That said, I've had far worse on this journey.
