Golden amber color. Aromas and flavors of candied raspberry and strawberry, cinnamon and brown sugar pecans, cinnamon roll, and tangerine marmalade with a fat body and a very long finish manifesting accents of cherry preserves, dark cocoa, teriyaki jerky, and caramel and nougat. A rich powerhouse of a Whiskey that deserves attention and absolutely delivers with waves of fruity and spicy flavors.
