$100
Blue corn base; specific proportion not disclosed
Nose
Holiday fruitcake with candied fruit and spice, tobacco, leather, and rich, deep aromatics.
Palate
Extraordinarily buttery and soft for its proof, liquid cinnamon bun sweetness, very syrupy and sweet with late-palate nuttiness and cereal notes, little to no burn despite high proof.
Finish
Chewy and rich, lingering with late nuttiness; impression elevated through the mid-palate but softens at the back.
Overall Score
4.6 / 5
A surprisingly soft and buttery corn whiskey with dessert-like cinnamon-bun sweetness and rich, lingering character that belies its formidable 127-proof strength.
