This was part of my Healthy Spirits SF whiskey club a few years ago. I've been sitting on the last 1/3 of it for a long time and tonight felt like the right time for a review as I sit here trying to build a new website.
Whiskey Name
Rank: 7
Nose: You get some of the booze on the nose. It's a sharp smell but not a harsh one. Cinnamon, spice, resin, pine.
Taste: Honey, butter, cinnamon stick, tobacco
Body: Round & Rich. Completely coats and becomes quite viscous.
Finish: Spicy and sizzling. Mouth is on 🔥.
---
Overall: It's a great whiskey but not one that I particularly want to drink every night. I'd recommend it to someone if they like rye but won't buy another for myself.
