Gold color. Aromas and flavors of frosted shredded wheat, butter cookies with artisan cola, tooled leather furniture and wood smoke, and cedar and pickling spices with a silky, vibrant, dryish medium-to-full body and a hot, complex, long finish evoking overtones of caramelized roasted nuts, singed spices, cigar box, and pumice. A densely packed, spicy, oaky American Single Malt Whisky that needs a little time and water to open up and reveal itself.
