Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of roasted grains and nuts, applewood and hickory smoked bbq rubbed meat, chicory coffee and peaty underbrush, and smoked spices and turmeric with a supple, vibrant, dry-yet-fruity medium-to-full body and a warming, distinctive, long finish revealing notes of caramelized dried fruits and bananas, sweet and peppery spices, iodine, and white cigar ash. A robust, tightly packed, smoky American Single Malt Whisky that exhibits fine balance and restraint despite the high proof; this is an absolutely natural choice for cigars.
