Nose
Butterscotch, caramel, deep vanilla bean, creamy notes with a hint of ethanol. Cereal notes reminiscent of plain Cheerios with subtle fruit undertones.
Palate
Buttery, nutty, hot buttered popcorn character. Buttery Cheerios-like cereal sweetness, viscous mouthfeel. Powerful kick described as drinking hotter than the stated proof, warming deep into the chest.
Finish
Super long finish, very sweet coating of the mouth and palate with lingering sugar goodness.
Overall Score
4.2 / 5
A buttery, viscous blended whiskey with bold butterscotch and cereal notes that punches above its proof and offers exceptional value for $45.
