This whiskey opens boldly, with a big puff of spicy cigar smoke and charred oak, followed quickly by caramel pound cake and candied ginger. The palate is lush and confectionary, joined by a persistent note of mint. Spice, proof, and a fine sensation of barrel grain drive the lengthy finish. This is a serious whiskey for serious whiskey drinkers.
