Tasting Notes

About:

73 proof (36.5% ABV); 750ml bottle; $34.99 msrp.
Appearance:
This whiskey is an extremely light color, just a very light amber.
Nose:
This whiskey has a very sweet and oaky scent. It does not have the normal scent associated with most whiskey. There is definitely a hint of coconut.
Palate:
This whiskey is very sweet, with a strong touch of honey, followed by the flavor of coconut. It is very smooth, and light.
Finish:
Comments:
I honestly had a bit of a hard time with this one. Being that it doesn’t have a ‘normal’ whiskey scent at all, it was hard to pick out the other possible scents. Also, it was very sweet, almost like it is a mixed drink (which I guess to an extent it already is). I am not really a fan of coconut, but generally that is the texture of actual coconut pieces, as opposed to the flavor. rnrnSo, as far as the flavor goes, this is a fairly good drink, and would definitely be good in some tropical mixers. I wouldn’t suggest drinking this straight for most whiskey drinkers. However, if you like sweet drinks, tropical drinks, and/or coconut, then this would be a great whiskey for you, even if you don’t normally like whiskey.
