Tasting Notes

Nose

Lemon Pine-Sol and nail polish remover start the whiskey off, but as that dissipates, it becomes more perfumed. Canned mandarin oranges fill out the middle with brightness. Amongst the heavy oak is dry cinnamon stick. There is a slight nuttiness to the whiskey, but it smells sweet like powdered donuts.

Palate

The whiskey starts out quickly with sweetness from powdered sugar, but then the oak hits big like a slap in the face. It has a tartness about it like lemon zest and lemon wedges. The cinnamon from the nose lingers throughout the dram. The aftertaste leaves much to be desired. The whiskey is not bad overall, but the aftertaste is like burnt rubber on asphalt.
