Appearance: It…looks like whiskey! A pleasing, middle-of-the-road whiskey color. Light amber, with a slightly orange hue: Think more organic navel than neon orange mandarin peel. Nose: Sweet with edges of fruitiness: Green apples, star jasmine, hot buttered sourdough toast, butterscotch. Palate: This…does taste high-proof at all. That’s dangerous–and so damn tasty! I tried this after the WhistlePig Boss Hog, which is about the same alcohol level and that was super-fiery. This, on the other hand, is smooth as hell
