GSN’s Remarks: Wonderful nostril with a cavernous depth of toffee, baking spices, barrel stave and slight woodfire. On the tongue, it hits unexpectedly with a lightness uncharacteristic of the excessive proof. An nearly effervescent impact on the tongue and the highest of the mouth depart a tingling, barely natural sensation. Flavors are pronounced and run the gamut from darkish fudge to toasted pecan to chicory to brown bread and the faintest ghost of yesterday’s campfire. An journey in a glass. The end is further lengthy and self assured. A outstanding and shocking whiskey. GSN Score: A+
