The tip of your tongue is met with a hint of vanilla, marshmallow, and cotton candy.The Whiskey quickly transforms as it spreads across your tongue, revealing spicy notes of black pepper, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon baked apples.The spice is supported by tart underripe blackberry and apricot that contrasts perfectly against the initial sweetness.
Intense clove and allspice immediately jump out of the glass, supported by creamy macadamia nuts and light tobacco.As the Whiskey opens up, sweet aromas of honeysuckle, green apple, and nectarine begin to show, rounded off by toasted rye and oak.
The spiciness of the palate carries over into the finish with candied ginger and more black pepper before slowly fading into a syrupy sweet honey.
What can I say, I'm a sucker for that high-proof MGP bourbon nose.The moment I pour my first glass and took a whiff I was hooked.The aroma immediately took me back to a previous review I had done on the Remus Repeal Reserve Series IV.While not exactly the same, both had pronounced butter and leather notes that remind me of dusty Whiskeys of days gone by.
