Nose: A wave of cinnamon leads the charge, followed by sweet caramel, vanilla, and a hint of burnt oak. Cinnamon dominates overall, but the balance of sweeter scents along with the oak keeps it manageable.
Palate: Big cinnamon spice pops upfront with a flash of Fireball candy potency. Dark fruit and baking spices follow, along with a touch of rye spice. It has a nice intensity, and like the nose, the cinnamon dominates and is also quite pleasant.
Finish: Sweet flavors of caramel candy and raw sugar develop first, followed by baking spices and a very light display of seasoned oak. The finish is medium-length and has just the right amount of intensity.

Part of the Heaven Hill Distilleries family of brands.
Note: A very small quantity of whiskies came from this single barrel, so taste variability is higher than with larger production whiskies. Many times this is not a big deal (i.e. Blanton's), but sometimes it matters (i.e. Larceny Barrel Proof versions). If the specific barrel is not listed, ask your server or a store employee for more info.

Nose: Rich vanilla and caramel are balanced by toasted oak and baking spices, with subtle hints of fruity notes like cherry or orange peel.
Palate: A full-bodied and smooth mouthfeel delivers flavors of sweet butterscotch and dark fruit, with a robust backbone of charred oak, cinnamon, and rye spice.
Finish: Long, warming, and pleasantly oily, the finish lingers with notes of caramel, lingering spice, dry oak, and a touch of roasted nuts.
