I found the balance of sweet, smoke, and spices quite enjoyable. The woodiness of the whiskey helps balance the sweetness from the notes of chocolate and caramel.
This is weird in that it ping pongs from really sweet to super oaky in such short order. I'm not really a fan. Its not terrible, but it's also clear it's not super natural, either.
Thin mouth feel with a good bit of heat. Really sweet at first, loads of honey and caramel before a big tannic punch. Bitter, astringent, faint plastic.
Finish:
Short, but hot. Lots of oak, tannins, dry cocoa, light honey and some vanilla.
Overall:
This is weird in that it ping pongs from really sweet to super oaky in such short order. I'm not really a fan. Its not terrible, but it's also clear it's not super natural, either.
Score:
