Tasting Notes
Nose
The first sense on the nose is rather muted. Further sniffing reveals notes of green pineapple, wheat toast, cracked grains, and French vanilla. Theres a spicy note of cinnamon. With time, the vanilla note expands into white pound cake. The nose pops with a decedent sweetness showing a faint note of acetone (nail polish remover), with a touch of cherry cola and cream.
Palate
The palate is viscous and offers up notes of roast corn, dried dill, and green banana. The flavor is a bit like simple syrup in that theres a bland sweetness to the whiskey. Air does wonders for the aromatics and the note on the finish is like a perfectly toasted homemade marshmallow. Theres prickly texture on finish. A splash of water brings out the fruit notes, showing ripe watermelon and fresh red berries. This is a subtle beauty.
