Tasting Notes
Nose: Cedar comes through initially along with dark spices and tea leaves. Upon further tastes, sweet corn and vanilla peak in from time to time.
Palate: On the palate, the dark flavors of rye spice take over with some cigar smoke and rope. Adding a few drops of water, of course, opens up the whiskey and provides more sweetness both on the nose and taste.
Finish: The finish is filled with baking spices, particularly cardamom and star anise and a more savory than sweet profile.
