Comments:
Proceed with caution when nosing this 101 proof whiskey as it only takes one light swirl to open it right up, packing an eye watering nose burn. The bitter black cherry and hint of sweet vermouth flavors on the palate would make this an ideal whiskey for a Manhattan. rnrnBut since it’s a limited release, I’d recommend enjoying it neat in order to experience the full throttle of this high octane spirit. The complexity of flavors in the medium-long finish makes this a nice whiskey to chew on for a while.
