About:

94 proof, 47% ABV, 113 calories. A partnership between Diageo brands and Skybound Entertainment. prices around $35.
Appearance:
Dark honey, light maple.
Nose:
Some cherry, slightly boozy. Got a touch of oak and leather after adjusting to the proof.

Maple and oak for sure. Medium bodied with a touch of dark fruit in the finish.
Finish:
Comments:
I thought this one was good, though not going through any special effort to acquire. Definitely a good sipper, but as a limited release, not worthy of spending a penny more than the base price of $35 for a bottle.
