TASTING NOTE: … First Impression: Rye spiciness of course with a overlay of sweet malt to make a spicy melange, Vietnamese cinnamon, faint Sichuan pepper scent, whisper of clove. Very lively for a whiskey at this age. Taste: Thick body and mouth feel generating warmth wherever it touches. There is a definite sweetness with a spicy sourness underlying it … Lingering spicy sweet finish with a pleasing if paradoxical dryness. Score: 10 (out of 10) (Chris Carlsson, spiritsreview.com, Undated) Price $ 44.95
