Amber color. Aromas and flavors of vanilla frosted cinnamon roll with a hint of apple fritter, caramel corn, cherry marzipan, and orange zest and Tootsie pop with a velvety, lively, dry medium body and a peppery, elegant, medium-long finish with notes of cherry and honey, apple cinnamon and vanilla, coffee cake, ginger, leather, and and praline. A bold Whiskey with just a bit of boozy kick that is absolutely delicious as a sipper or cigar pairing; even at the higher proof, this is really complex and packed full of flavors.
