Tasting Notes

👃 Nose

Dense candy sweetness.

👅 Palate

Thin, not much happening here. Under 100 proof. Easy drinking. Light sweetness and oak, not much else.

🏁 Finish

Fairly short but pleasant.

👁️ Blind Tasting Impressions

Intense nose followed by muted palate. Easy drinking, low proof pour with nothing objectionable.

🎭 Post-Reveal Thoughts (Revealed Jan 06, 2026)

I definitely wasn't thinking scotch at all. Would probably be pretty good at cask strength.
