It’s two phrases — “Nut Cracker” — on the label, however “Nutcracker” formally. Regardless of the case, it is a pecan flavored rye whiskey from Durham, NC-based Lonerider Spirits, and with that you recognize every part about it that I do know.
One sniff and whoosh! it’s a sugar bomb that hits the nostrils. Overbearingly candy and laden with notes of well-toasted sugared pecans, notes of toasted marshmallow endure even because the nuttiness fades a bit. The palate is after all ultra-sweet, candied pecan touched with a slight orange peel character. A chemical be aware is obvious however modest, maybe a side-effect of the whiskey’s enduring booziness, which makes an attempt to (however largely fails to) mood among the sweetness.
Merely an excessive amount of for me.
80 proof.
