Tasting Notes

Nose

sweet rye spice with cinnamon and brown sugar. There is an unpinning of alcohol, but overall it is sweet and very inviting.

Palate

Slow burn to the palate to start but a little watery as a mouthfeel. A very sweet splash of rye and molasses sugar to the palate. Each sip introduced a little stronger deep note but it was progressive and allowed you to explore the whiskey. There is a subtle warming in the chest with the sip. There is a lingering char note but extremely soft. Successive sips bring about a little more oily of a mouthfeel, but still very delicate across the mouth. The finish after the second or third sips starts to hold nicely to the palate. At first it just disappears, but after a sip or two you get a nice tingling to the mouth with a drying component which holds the molasses and wood taste against the palate.
