"The Original" is aged 4 years in oak barrels and finished with a hint of apple. Great over ice but a solid choice for mixing a cocktail. Color: Deep, glimmering bronze color with perfect clarity. Aroma: The generous aromatics are loaded with rich caramel, dried orchard fruits, toffee, butterscotch, nutmeg, spicy rye notes, maple and candied orange peel. Taste: The palate is harmonious and seamless being dry with a pepper edge while offering enough viscosity to give the whiskey length and depth. Finish: It finishes with a complex black pepper accent and hints of anise and toasted oak. Comment: Sip it straight or make the best Manhattan you've ever had. 85 Proof
