Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

Deep notes of toasted corn, charred vanilla, and smoked almonds define this full-bodied, nearly cloying whisky that has a character that refuses to be ignored. The sweetness of the corn is countered by the bitter and caramelized notes. The resolution of this paradox is delight.
