No need to approach carefully here – this is a dark side beast built to satisfy the public craving for high proof whiskeys that aren’t just about flamethrowing heat. Mellow and rich aromas of caramel, fall spice and a dash of orange zest attract, and the palate says hello in bright and balanced fashion. The finish is very mellow, with no evident burn, just waves of warmth that will invite you back for more. I continue to be impressed with this brand in a big way. 94
