Sweet tropical fruit, dried mango, dried papaya, vanilla bean, sea salt. No overpowering rum presence; the rum complements rather than dominates the whiskey.
Upfront sweetness with strong butterscotch notes. Tropical fruit sweetness carries through the mid-palate. Minimal spice despite the high rye content, which is mellowed by the secondary rum cask finish. Sweetness persists throughout without becoming cloying.
Medium to long finish with butterscotch lingering on the sides of the tongue and jowls. Sweetness continues through the back end with minimal spice. The finish is smooth and inviting, encouraging another sip.
