Tasting Notes

Nose

With its lower proof, I find that the scent engages without burning. It makes the notes vanilla and creme brulee come through with clarity. With time to focus and process the scent, I pick out the marginal notes of cigar and clove accenting the gourmand sweetness.

Palate

The palate is gourmand, but with a muted sweetness. Theres an understated, woody body with accents of nutmeg, clove, and coffee. A dark oiliness carries the taste and makes the sweetness feel more of molasses than white sugar. There are some fruity notes of orange peel accenting it, but the fruity flavor of esters isnt strong until the finish. As it fades, I get the flavorful sweetness of a spiced caramel latte, with the permeating taste of orange peel. This is definitely a whiskey that benefits from a few drops of water, as the muted flavors will really bloom.
