Nose
Piney, like young rye. Basic corn-forward spirit – not too youthful – with a very mild but also pleasant pineapple note. Shy, and a rest in the glass does not reveal additional aromas.
Taste
Syrupy/silky body with a moderate tongue burn. Quite sweet, with elements of caramel, nougat, marshmallow, and tropical fruit jam. Very nice, with no rough edges.
Finish
Of medium length. Mild tannins, with leftover tartness from the tropical fruits. Suddenly shy again, fades with only a hint of charcoal bitterness.

Nose
A sweet and fruity bouquet fills the air while I let the whiskey rest in a lowball glass. Notes of heavy vanilla, grapefruit, and coconut are complemented by pepper and caramel.
Taste
Vanilla kicks off the show, with light charred oak flavors swirling around together with a caramel finish. It definitely tastes just like it smells, and leaves me with a teeny tiny bit of rye spice surprise on the end.
Finish
very smooth, and gently lingers on your tongue with a sweet kiss of caramel.
