Price: ● Issue: Fall 2023 ● Reviewer: David Fleming ● Category: Single Malt American Whiskey
Generous citrus and vanilla frosting on the nose. Marshmallow and more vanilla on the palate, plus orange peel, a pleasant soapiness, canned peaches, lemon spritz, and malt. Good length on a finish that offers sweet lemon and orange, angel food cake, and baking spice. Lots of vanilla and caramel notes, with vanilla and citrus melding together like a complex Creamsicle. Very pleasant flavors that grow better as you sip.
