Gold color. Inviting aromas and flavors of caramelized fruits and nuts, strawberry shortcake and banana layer cakes, pistachio gelato, and buttery pound cake with a velvety, lively, fruity full body and a warming, complex, very long finish with notes of sarsaparilla float, rich baking spices, graham cracker and stroopwaffel, and honeyed mint chai. This is something quite special, a special Whiskey to be sipped and appreciated with special friends; both contemplative to focus on by itself but subtle and enjoyable enough to take a back seat to your guests.
