Appearance: Amber gold color, very clear. Not quite as dark as a 3 year-old bourbon but getting there. Thin edge line on the glass when you swirl it, smooth layer of whisky on swirling. First Impression: Fruit, sherry, vanilla, and caramel notes on nosing. Taste: Rye, sweet, spicy with some sherry sweetness to it. Rye, corn, and oak for the most part some touch of vanilla and caramel at the end. Finish is sweet and a touch hot, a bit short. A lot like some Canadian whiskies. Drinks: Most people drink this on the rocks, smoothes it right out. A good well drink for making basic bourbon or whisky drinks. Not bad for spiking eggnog or similar projects. |
