Appearance:A rich golden honey color.

Nose:A bouquet of herbal scents is subtle and airy. This wispy aroma consisting of sage, lavender, mint, and grass is fresh and crisp. Light oak and caramel help add some weight to the nose, yet aren’t overly impactful. Instead, its herbal-dominated aroma works mainly because of its uniqueness. Though never venturing into shocking territory, it surprises and pleases in equal measure.

Palate:Mint, pine, and orange create an interesting and surprising opening to the sip. It works well in conjunction with additional lighter notes of oak, cranberry and graham cracker. This combination of flavors is rather unique tasting when they come together, although it falls short of all out impressive. Much of this has to do with the overall lightness of its flavors and lack of immediate impact. Fun and interesting, yet lacking the necessary weight to make it overly memorable.

Finish:Light oak, cocoa powder, and mild cinnamon get right to the point in the finish. Straightforward and lacking punch, the finish’s impact is largely lackluster. A slow ramp up of heat begins to take hold late into the finish and is welcomed, but is inconsequential in the end.

Comments:While still tasting smooth and clean over ice, the complexity of so many well-balanced flavors holds up better when taken neat. It's a very approachable spirit that's delicate yet full-bodied with a spicy, lingering finish. Overall, it's a good sipping whiskey that would be great for mixing in cocktails, and I definitely recommend enjoying it while cozied up next to a campfire with great friends.
