Sweet scents of graham cracker, caramel, and vanilla frosting are at the forefront overtop a citrusy orange base. The nose is quite expressive for an 80 proof whiskey. Minor notes of oak and rye spice are also present, but barely make an impact over the sweet aromas. The palate is extremely thin and watery with a very basic composition. It’s hard to readily pick out any flavors due to them being so diluted. There are faint traces of leather, cinnamon, and orange, but they’re weak and muddled. The same flavors that are present in the palate ramp up a notch on the finish, but quickly fade, barely leaving a trace they were even there. For a brief moment these flavors show some hope before they quickly evaporate. It’s a shame since that moment isn’t all that bad. Show more
