Tasting Notes

👁️ Appearance

Light amber, good clarity, good legs.

👃 Nose

A lot of vanilla. Nice darker notes. Sweet. Tobacco. Touch of orange. Very nice.

👅 Palate

A lot of char. Nice sweetness. A good amount of rye spice. I think it's a rye. A little citrus in the background.

🏁 Finish

Moderate length, lots of barrel char.

👁️ Blind Tasting Impressions

Awesome nose. Palate doesn't meet the level of the nose, but excellent pour overall.

🎭 Post-Reveal Thoughts (Revealed Jan 04, 2026)

Drinks well below 132 proof. Pretty surprised that it is light whiskey. I gave it a 7 in my fresh crack review.
