Tasting Notes

Nose

The first thing that comes to mind is s’mores. I also get snickerdoodle, caramel, and a sugary maple bar. Given the high alcohol content, I would have expected more ethanol. But it’s a sweet, easy-going whiskey on the nose.

Palate

This is a chewy whiskey, rich and sweet. It suggests French toast, cookie dough, and Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food – which, for the uninitiated, is chocolate ice cream with marshmallow and caramel swirls, and a smattering of fish made out of fudge. There’s a buttery sense to it that brings the fudge to mind. The finish is decently long, with something tangy (but not citrusy) hiding underneath.

Finish

Decently long with a tangy, non-citrus undercurrent beneath the sweetness.
