Ransom WhipperSnapper, 42%

This spirit whiskey—containing less than 20% straight whiskey—is made from corn neutral spirits, rye, and barley, and opens with grainy cereal and marshmallows, light lemon and cherry candies, and fresh cut lumber. On the palate there's sweet corn, more lemon candies, and a woody backbone supporting the other flavors. Water brings out light chocolate and nutty notes; Reese's peanut butter cups and lava cake take the lead. The finish is short and light, with milk chocolate and a tannic woodiness.
