Mahogany color. Aromas and flavors of almond and orange creme brulee, cinnamon roll, apple fritter with cream cheese frosting, and spiced cherries with a velvety, vibrant, dry medium-to-full body and a tingling, very complex, long finish with accents of apple fritter, cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting, baking spices, leather, cedar, and and bananas foster. Everything great about Irish Whiskey in one glass; if you don’t like this then you don’t like Whiskey.. looking at you, Bourbon Bros.
