Gold color. Roasted aromas and flavors of burnt sugar and powdered milk, grilled hawaiian bread with cherry chutney, bbq sweet potato chip, and fall leaf bonfire with a satiny, bright, fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, nuanced, long finish with accents of mesquite honeycomb, pink peppercorn and mint, roasted grain and nori, and lava rock. An intriguing and well balanced, lightly smoky Whiskey that will be fun to experiment with in cocktails.
