This wintry sipper leads with gingerbread cookies, cinnamon candies, and a hint of peppermint mingling with some heavier fruit notes—think fruit tarts, candied oranges, and berry compote—and cracked leather. Soft on the palate, with vanilla cookies, underripe bananas, and a faint briny note that provides balance to an otherwise dessert-sweet whiskey. Water stews the fruity flavors and turns the syrupiness all the way up. (36,000 bottles)
