Welcome back... time for another blind sample. This has been fun so far, we'll see if it stays fun (:
The nose is a bit hot at first... then I find orange, honey, and a touch of malt. Overall the nose is nice. The taste it's sweet in the front along with honey, then it's woody, then there is a hot cinnamon in the back that takes over. The finish is minty, honey and along with cinnamon.
Overall I enjoy this, but I don't have a good guess what it is. It might be a rye, an Irish ... unsure. I'd guess around 110 proof due to the hotness of the nose... and rate it a 3.75/5.0. Turns out, it was Whistle Pig 10 Year Small Batch Rye, 50% ABV. Back during 24 Days of Whisk(e)y I rated it a 3.5 ... so same ball park. Cheers!
