On the nose, this whiskey opens with rich hard-shell chocolate layered with warming chili flake, nutmeg, cracked peppercorn and hazelnut.

The palate follows with milk chocolate-covered pretzels, charred cherry, vanilla wafer alongside hints of sweet tobacco.

The finish lingers with warming chai spice, soft tobacco and a touch of fresh-cut oak.
