Nose
Clean with vanilla pudding notes, light sweet character, bourbon-like with present oak, resembles a wheated bourbon.
Palate
Silky and sweet, departing from bourbon characteristics mid-palate into syrupy pancake territory, remarkably soft texture.
Finish
Long and lingering with cereal notes.
Excellent
A remarkably silky rice whiskey that initially presents as bourbon on the nose before revealing its own unique sweet, pancake-like character.
