Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

The maple barrel treatment here gives the whiskey another dimension showing brown sugar, smoked vanilla cream, and grated cinnamon over deep fruits of roasted pear, macerated fig, and Medjool date. Fiery on the palate, this is mollified by the rich cask flavors.
