This whiskey was aged in bourbon-soaked white oak barrels at a lower proof (83.4) than the usual American whiskey, making it smooth and rich. It tastes a lot like buttered popcorn with candied almonds, sweet toffee and hints of vanilla. The long finish rolls toward dry espresso and mocha flavors, pepped up with clove and cinnamon. A refined everyday whiskey for people who prefer a smoother, lighter style.
