Whiskey, Southern Comfort, 1L

Tasting Notes
Color: Medium amber-gold hue

Nose: Candied and dried peach, cinnamon, and star anise

Palate: The vanilla-bean flavor is pleasant and strong straight away on the palate. The whiskey component tastes young, as one might expect in a mass-produced, whiskey-based liqueur, but it adds a freshness to the flavor profile, which is made more interesting by zippy spice notes of star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, and black cracked pepper.

Finish: The peach and maraschino cherry hard candy finish is laced in spice, but it turns concentrated, almost like cold medicine. The alcohol, too, makes its presence known with a little bit of burn and numbing on the finish.
