Dominant licorice/anise character that takes over the whiskey, reminiscent of black licorice jelly beans and springerle cookies; caramel and sugar notes underneath but overwhelmed by the absinthe finish.

Very sweet with pronounced black licorice core; spice rolling down but not aggressive; citrus notes like tangerine zest on entry; viscous mouthfeel with long lingering finish.

Exceptionally long finish that persists for hours; stays pleasant throughout despite lingering licorice character; spice component adds complexity to the sweetness.
