Aroma is boozy, orange candy circus peanuts, whiskey, woody, toffee, vanilla, coconut, butterscotch. Taste is a little sweet with strong flavors of whiskey, wood, and toffee. Even though the flavor of whiskey is strong here, and it smells boozy as fuck, it’s not hot or boozy whatsoever. It goes down really easy. Mouthfeel is nicely carbonated, but it seems a little watery. What I thought was going to be a hot boozy mess turned out to be really smooth and tasty. With some fine tuning with the texture and eliminating whatever creates that candy circus peanut off-note, this could be pretty amazing.
