  • The flavor starts off with some heavier/charred notes that remind me of peanuts, charred oak, apple skins, cardamom, dark chocolate, Morello cherries and a touch of nutmeg.

  • Nose:

    The nose is rich, with gingerbread, frosting and cherry. With water, it becomes much softer and fruitier: apple, melon, raisin, maple.

  • Taste:

    Gingersnaps, cinnamon, molasses, cola. Water adds caramel and nuttiness.

  • Finish:

    The finish is mild but pleasant, fading out with honey, cinnamon and strawberry cheesecake.

  • Overall:

    A rich, lovely Tennessee Whiskey.
