“The nose will knock you off your feet. Lots of rye, barrel, heath bar and leather. The palate is ridiculously viscous, with cinnamon candies, rye, barrel, roasted vanilla bean and chocolate.”

Rich and layered on the nose, with butter-pecan ice cream, rum cake, jalapeño, apricot, peanut butter cookie, leather, and tobacco. Spicy herbs meld with salted peanuts and Red Hots on the palate, which, when water is added, showcases nutty brownies and whipped cream. An earthy finish brings green chiles, dried leaves, and hints of coffee. It’s a big whiskey that still shows adept balance.
