King of Kentucky 12 year old Small Batch (Batch 2), 53.75%

Tobacco, vanilla, almond paste, marzipan, and aged oak on the nose. Spicy on the palate, with more tobacco and aged oak, plus cinnamon, raspberry jam, cherry pie, and candied black cherry slightly outpacing chocolate sweetness. There’s more fruit on the finish, mainly luscious red berries. Overall, it’s quite a bit more fruit-forward than the other two in the trio, but it’s a nicely aged and integrated whiskey.
