The nose is greeted by an enticing aroma of waffle cone, butterscotch, and vanilla, creating a delightful sweetness. As the scent unfolds, notes of nutmeg and black pepper emerge, adding a warm and spicy touch. Burnt citrus peel and oak round out the nose, revealing complex and nuanced fragrances that deepens with each sniff. This whiskey boasts dark brown sugars, layered spices, and vanilla cream that build their presence with undertones of caramel, waffle cone, dried tobacco, and cardamom. Caramel sauce and a touch of cocoa powder add depth, while the very strong vanilla and brown sugar continue to create a fun, yet complex, wave of flavors on the palate. With a medium-long finish, this whiskey undergoes a delightful transformation with each sip. Some sips lean heavily on spice, while others evoke the sweetness of a dessert bomb. A solid underlying spice profile is complemented by citrus zest, vanilla cream, and strong caramel notes. Notably, this blend is devoid of wheated bourbon, which surprises you in how decadent and soft the finish is. It’s a harmonious blend of medium to high rye bourbons. As you savor the tail end of the finish, the older whiskeys add a touch of rickhouse floor and dried tobacco before gradually fading away into a vintage vanilla cola.
