“Roasted peanut leads the nose, brightened by a splash of orange zest and rounded out with caramel. The palate is pure peanut butter brittle, dessert-forward and layered with vibrant citrus throughout. An oily, viscous texture gives the whiskey real weight and body, carrying it into a soft, elegant finish. An exceptional barrel for its age, with the depth of a far older bourbon.” —Skurnik Whisk(e)y Portfolio
