Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of old leather, dried red flowers, chicory, nuts, Kentucky cheroots, and cinnamon with a round, crisp, dry medium body and an interesting, medium-long finish with impressions of dark malt, landjager, and cocoa and leather. Rich, subtle, and complex on the nose and palate, this woody and spicy Whiskey will hold up beautifully in your Old Fashioned.
94 points, Beverage Testing Institute (Jul 2024)
Vanilla and baking spice aromas float from the glass, accompanied by cigar ash, grape, and tart red berries. The palate is feather light but flavorful, with fruity notes of Golden Delicious apple skin, raisins, and peach. There’s also a nice undercurrent of earthiness, and a dash of cinnamon spice. The finish seals the deal—bright, lovely flavors of grape jam, applesauce, Twizzlers, and cinnamon babka coat the mouth and linger on.
