Delicate and sweet on the nose with a ton going on: banana bread, sweet cream, strawberry candies, salted caramel, cherry cola, orange peel, butterscotch and a yeasty, malty note chipped in by the ASM.
Quite viscous on the palate with a bit of heat. Orange peel, banana bread again, plus bright cherry, taffy, raisin bread, brioche, tobacco and cinnamon.
Tobacco leads a medium to long finish, followed by rich cookie butter, banana nut bread and vanilla.
A very tasty and distinctive whiskey. I could very well see this pairing beautifully with a cigar, so mission accomplished. Plus, it's just damn delicious. Kudos to Penelope on a masterful blend.
